Do payment processors even have to send you 1099?
If I'm not mistaken, Google Checkout and PayPal did not send me 1099 - I just had to report all the revenue received from them myself.
- mietek 14y agoThis is a good question and I would really like to see it answered.
- dangrossman 14y agoThey have to send you a 1099-K like all other payment processors... if you made over $20,000 in gross sales in the year. I got one from PayPal in 2011. https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/IRS6050W https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-c...
- somesaba 14y agoI see, but I thought corporate tax was based off profit, not revenue?
- dangrossman 14y agoHow would PayPal know what your profit is? 1099s are informational forms. They inform you and the IRS how much someone else paid you. They are not directly used in computing your taxes. The purpose of the new 1099-K is to prevent you from receiving $x in credit card sales, then claiming you only had ($x / 2) in gross sales on your tax return.
- somesaba 14y agoAh I see. Thanks!
