The IRS announced November 21 that it will extend for one additional year the transition relief from the enforcement of the more stringent information reporting requirements for third-party payment processors that were enacted in 2021.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-2) reduced the dollar-threshold triggering the Form 1099-K reporting requirement from $20,000 to $600 and eliminated the 200-transaction threshold, effective for reporting for returns filed for calendar years after 2021. A number of lawmakers in both parties tried—without success—to include a provision delaying the implementation of the stricter reporting thresholds in the omnibus tax-and-spending legislation that Congress approved in December of 2022; however, the IRS late last year issued Notice 2023-10, in which it delayed enforcement of the new rules until after 2023.
