Tax form 1099-K is defined as the Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions form which is an IRS information return used to report transactions.
The IRS requires third-party payment networks, such as Hemlane, to provide information to them for users who meet specific criteria. Everyone who received $5,000+ will have the transactions reported on a 1099-K form.
Hemlane uses Stripe, a payment processor, to process all payments which is why any of our users who meet the IRS’ criteria will receive a 1099-K form.
FAQ - 1099-K Form
What is a 1099-K tax form?
A 1099-K form is a tax form used to report payments for goods and services transactions through a third-party payment network. Organizations that facilitate these payments are required by law to file them with the IRS and send copies to the payment recipient.
Will I receive a 1099-K form?
You will only receive a 1099-K form if you receive any deposits that total $5,000 or more through Hemlane.
Examples:
As a property manager or owner, if you have received one or more payments of any kind through Hemlane which total $5,000, you will receive a 1099-K.
If you have not acquired a total of $5,000 on Hemlane, you will not receive a 1099-K form no matter if you are an owner, team member, or tenant.
Why didn’t I receive a 1099-K form last tax season?
A 1099-K form was only sent to those who met the criteria of receiving $5,000 or more through a third-party payment network. If you did not meet both criteria, you would not have received a 1099-K form from Hemlane.
How will I receive my 1099-K form?
We'll notify you by email to the address on file with your Hemlane account when your tax documents are created.
Why is my payment through Hemlane considered a good or service?
Since Hemlane is a software as a service (SaaS) product, all payment transactions made within Hemlane including card transactions (debit card, credit card, stored-value cards) as well as any network transactions (such as ACH payments) are considered a service provided by us and our third party payment processor, Stripe.
Please note, even though these transactions within Hemlane are considered a service, it is likely you won’t have to pay taxes on them. Hemlane is simply required to report these transactions to the IRS for any Hemlane account which processes $20,000 or more.
When do I need to confirm my tax information?
You will need to report your earnings for 2024 during tax season. You will want to confirm that you have the following information updated and on file with Hemlane:
- a valid SSN or EIN matching your taxpayer name
- your taxpayer name (such as your LLC)
- your mailing address within your Hemlane account
Confirming your tax information as soon as possible ensures that we’ll have everything our teams need to issue your 1099-K form in a timely manner.
What happens after I confirm my tax info?
If you meet the requirements, Hemlane will issue you a 1099-K form at the beginning of the tax season and send a copy to the IRS automatically.
