At the start of each year until January 31st, businesses receive a 1099K form for the previous tax year if those businesses processed payments through Autobooks. Autobooks is required by the IRS to provide a 1099K to businesses that process credit/debit card transactions and meet the following threshold:
Note: The IRS has recently announced that it will again delay the new $600 reporting threshold for third-party settlement organizations for the upcoming tax filing season.

- $5,000 or more in payments processed in the tax year. (threshold subject to change)
The 1099K Form reports what was received/processed through Autobooks only. It is not an income statement for your business.
