Thank you for reaching out to AndDone. AndDone, LLC is a payment processing company. The merchant acquirer, Adyen, indicated as the Filer on the 1099-K you received, must report the proceeds of payment card and third-party network transfers made to you on Form 1099-K under Internal Revenue Code section 6050W.
However, that does not mean you must report the payments as income. If the Form 1099-K is related to your business, see Pub. 334 for more information. The 1099K includes the gross amount of all payment transactions processed by AndDone via our acquiring partner, Adyen. Please consult a tax professional to determine what amounts should be reported to the IRS as taxable income.
What is a 1099-K form used for?
If you receive more than the threshold in reportable payments for goods and/or services through a third-party payment network, your payments must be reported on Form 1099-K by the company processing the payments. Those payments can include income as a result of:
- Business
- Self Employed or sole proprietor
- Real Estate Rentals
- Hobby Sales
- Personal Item Rentals or Sales
However, just because you’ve received payments through a third-party network that meet the minimum payment or transaction thresholds doesn’t necessarily mean you need to count these payments as taxable income.
The 1099-K form provides a record of gross reportable payment transactions provided by a payment card or third-party payment network and is used in the following ways:
- To alert the IRS and state taxing authorities of possible reportable income
- To help individuals and businesses reconcile payments processed with their records
