1099-K Threshold Checker
Enter annual marketplace gross payments and transaction count to see whether a third party settlement organization would be over the current federal 1099-K reporting threshold.
Below federal TPSO threshold
Federal TPSO reporting currently requires more than $20,000 in gross payments and more than 200 transactions.

Below-threshold income can still be taxable, state reporting thresholds can be lower, and marketplaces can issue Form 1099-K even below the federal TPSO threshold.
Separate tax thresholds from marketplace fee data
The 1099-K checker uses gross marketplace payment totals, while fee decisions need a separate view of platform costs. Use the Fee Index for same-input marketplace rows, Fee Changes for recent policy updates, and Seller Reports for dated summaries of fee pressure.
That gives sellers a cleaner workflow: check whether gross payments may trigger a form, then use the fee data assets to understand the platform costs that affect net payout and records.
Turn this result into a listing decision
Use the tool result as a starting point, then test payout, break-even price, shipping, and marketplace fit before you publish the listing.
What this checker does
The current federal TPSO threshold is based on gross payments and transaction count, not net profit after fees, shipping, refunds, item cost, or supplies. Use gross marketplace payment totals when checking the federal reporting trigger.
The IRS notes that the reporting threshold does not decide whether income is taxable. Sellers still need complete records for gross sales, marketplace fees, cost of goods, shipping, refunds, and other deductions.
