Q2. Is there a threshold amount that must be met before I would receive a Form 1099-K? (updated Oct. 23, 2025) A2. There is no threshold amount that must be met to receive a Form 1099-K due to payments received through a payment card transaction. Therefore, if you received $0.01 of payments from a payment card transaction, you should receive a Form 1099-K for those payments. There is a threshold for payments received through a TPSO. TPSOs are required to report when total gross payments for goods or services exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions for a payee. Your state may have a lower reporting threshold for TPSOs, which could result in you receiving a Form 1099-K, even if the total gross payments and transactions did not exceed the federal reporting threshold.
