The IRS is reporting that it will be comparing filed 1099-Ks against income reported on business tax returns (including those reported on 1040 Schedule C tax returns). Knowing how this impacts you can save you an unwanted IRS correspondence audit.

Background

A couple of years ago the IRS introduced the 1099-K. This new informational tax return is meant to capture sales activity of previously unreported credit card transactions from places like e-bay and Amazon. Credit card processors are now required to report these transactions to you and the government if you have 200 or more transactions and over $20,000 in billing activity.

What is happening now

The IRS is now going to be comparing these filed 1099-Ks with the income reported by those receiving the form. If their computer audit shows you have not reported income sufficient enough to cover the activity on the 1099-K you will receive a letter asking for an explanation.
