Will Shopify Send Me a 1099?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:47 pm

As an ecommerce platform, Shopify is responsible for facilitating transactions between buyers and sellers. Because of this, the IRS considers Shopify to be a third-party settlement organization. This means that if you use Shopify to process payments for your business, Shopify may be required to send you a 1099-K form at the end of the year.

The 1099-K form is used to report income from electronic payments, and is required for any business that processes more than $20,000 in sales through credit or debit card transactions, or more than 200 transactions total.

If you meet either of these criteria, Shopify will send you a 1099-K form by January 31st of the following year.

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell products online, you may be wondering if Shopify will send you a 1099 form. The answer is no. Shopify is not required to send 1099 forms to its users. However, if you have sold over $600 worth of products through Shopify in a year, the IRS may require Shopify to provide them with your information so that they can send you a 1099 form.

If you’re not sure whether or not you’ll be receiving a 1099-K form from Shopify, you can check the Shopify Payments page in your account settings. If Shopify is required to send you a 1099-K form, it will be listed there.

Conclusion:

So, will Shopify send you a 1099? If you process more than $20,000 in sales through credit or debit card transactions, or more than 200 transactions total, then Shopify will send you a 1099-K form by January 31st of the following year.
