This includes amounts reported on Form 1099-MISC and other sales and revenues from operations. If the total reported on Forms 1099-MISC plus the total reported on Forms 1099-K is greater than the amount you plan to report as gross receipts, then you should look a little deeper to determine the discrepancy.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Do If You Can\u2019t Reconcile<\/h2>\n<p>If you still believe your number is correct, then attach a statement to the return explaining the difference.\u00a0 The IRS sends information requests to taxpayers that may have underreported their gross receipts as compared to payments reported on Form 1099Ks and 1099-MISC for the given tax period.\u00a0 If you fail to explain the difference they will most likely adjust your return to reflect the higher sales figure.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Worry If You Don\u2019t Receive a 1099K<\/h2>\n<p>You may not receive a form 1099K if third-party network payments do not exceed $20,000 or the total number of transactions do not exceed 200. Regardless of whether a Form 1099K is received, all such receipts should be reported.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, the IRS gets better at matching up these information forms with your tax return and very little gets by them.\u00a0 If you would like help preparing your return, or responding to a notice from the IRS requesting additional information, then call our office at 281-890-2554 to schedule a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last few years the IRS has employed a few more tools to encourage taxpayers to report all income.\u00a0 One of those new tools is the\u00a0form 1099K.
