How to File Form 1099 K Online?
Previously, the income reported on a 1099-K Tax Form was reported on your 1099-MISC and they were not considered different documents. However, after 2008, the two have become separate. Now, the 1099-MISC Form is usually used for payments made to independent contractors and self-employed persons, and the 1099-K Form is used to accurately report how much money you made from card transactions online. You can file through the FIRE (Filing Information Returns Electronically System). If a payment entity has more than 250 individual returns to file in any given tax year, they must all be electronically submitted. Payee statements are due the March 31st of every year. If a payee has given consent, they may receive their documents electronically, although it is standard to mail a paper copy for their records.
The quickest and easiest way to E-file 1099 taxes is to use Tax2efile.Our service provides an easy way to file with flexibility that customers can take advantage of. If you are unable to file on your own or need a little extra help when filing, it is best that you contact a qualified tax preparer who can help you get your documents filed correctly and accurately. Filing your taxes inaccurately can cause future problems for the payer if they aren't done correctly the first time.
If you are a business owner that accepts credit card payments or works through a third-party processor, then the 1099-K Form is the most important form that you should be filing for. If you simply use a card to make online purchases, then this form isn't for you.

Who Must File Form 1099-K?
Every PSE or other party which submits instructions to transfer funds to the account of a participating payee, in the settlement of reportable payment transactions, must file an information return (Form 1099-K) with respect to each participating payee for that calendar year.
Multiple PSEs. If two or more persons qualify as PSEs for the same reportable transaction, the PSE that submits the instruction to transfer funds must file the return. However, the PSE obligated to file may designate another person to file the return, including the PSE not making payment, if the parties agree in writing. If the designated person fails to timely file the return, the entity with the responsibility to file is liable for any applicable penalties under sections 6721 and 6722
Electronic payment facilitator (EPF). If a PSE contracts with an EPF or other third party to make payments in settlement of reportable payment transactions on behalf of the PSE, the facilitator or other third party must file Form 1099-K in lieu of the PSE.
