IRS Delays Implementing Lower Threshold for Third-party Payment Platforms

The IRS recently announced a delay in reporting thresholds for third-party settlement organizations (TPSOs) like PayPal, Venmo, Etsy and Poshmark, set to take effect for the 2022 tax filing season. As a result, TPSOs will not be required to report tax year 2022 transactions on a Form 1099-K to the IRS or the payee for the lower, $600 threshold amount enacted as part of the American Rescue Plan of 2021.

Calendar year 2022 will now be considered a transitional period for implementing the lowered threshold, meaning the previous reporting threshold of $20,000 in payments from over 200 transactions will remain in effect.

The law is not intended to track personal transactions like ride shares, gifts, or paying someone for a household bill.
