Beginning in 2023, third-party payment networks must file Form 1099-K with the IRS and provide a copy to the taxpayer when the gross payment amount is more than $600. However, not all payments from third parties are taxable.

For tax year 2023 and prior years, third-party settlement organizations that issue Forms 1099-K are only required to report transactions where gross payments exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions, consistent with the IRS's recent decision to delay implementation of the new $600 threshold.

Starting tax year 2023, if you have 10 or more information returns, you must file them electronically.

Brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds, and other financial institutions must file Form 1099-INT on interest of more than $10 paid during the year.

The IRS announced that the new Form 1099-K reporting threshold will start in tax year 2023. The old threshold was $20,000 and 200 transactions per year. This applies to tax year 2022 and prior years. The new threshold is more than $600. This applies to tax year 2023 and future years.

The new "$600 rule"

Under the new rules set forth by the IRS, if you got paid more than $600 for the transaction of goods and services through third-party payment platforms, you will receive a 1099-K for reporting the income.

What is the difference between a 1099 and a 1099-INT? ›

Types of 1099s

The 1099 series of forms have different versions, each for a variety of purposes. The 1099-INT form is used to report interest income. Your bank or other financial institution might issue a 1099-INT form if you received interest income from a CD, or from a deposit account.

In some cases, the amount of tax-exempt interest a taxpayer earns can limit the taxpayer's qualification for certain other tax breaks. The most common sources of tax-exempt interest come from municipal bonds or income-producing assets inside of Roth retirement accounts.

Even if you did not receive a Form 1099-INT, or if you received $10 or less in interest for the tax year, you are still required to report any interest earned and credited to your account during the year. The payer's identification number and address are not needed.

This means that for 2023 and prior years, payment apps and online marketplaces are only required to send out Forms 1099-K to taxpayers who receive over $20,000 and have over 200 transactions. For tax year 2024, the IRS plans for a threshold of $5,000 to phase in reporting requirements.

However, in late November 2023, the IRS announced a delay of the new threshold. Thus, there will be no change in reporting from prior years; reporting will continue to be required when the total number of transactions exceeds 200 and the gross amount of reportable payments exceeds $20,000 in a calendar year.

Starting Jan. 1, 2024, filers of 10 or more Forms 1099 must file the forms electronically and may be subject to penalties if paper forms are filed unless a waiver is requested. To file 1099 Forms electronically this year, filers must request a new IR-TCC code from the IRS, which can take up to 45 days to obtain.

Box 10 Market Discount shows, for covered securities, the market discount that accrued on the debt instrument during the year.

Interest on bonds, mutual funds, CDs, and demand deposits of $10 or more is taxable. Taxable interest is taxed just like ordinary income. Payors must file Form 1099-INT and send a copy to the recipient by January 31 each year. Interest income must be documented on Schedule B of IRS Form 1040.

Interest from Treasury bills (T-bills) is subject to federal income taxes but not state or local taxes. The interest income received in a year is recorded on Form 1099-INT. Investors can opt to have up to 50% of their Treasury bills' interest earnings automatically withheld.

Interest income and ordinary dividends (qualified dividends are taxed at capital gains rates) are taxed at the same rate as your ordinary income tax. For example, if your federal income tax rate is 22%, your interest income or dividends will also be taxed at 22%.
