To which address will the 1099-K forms be sent?

Why did I get two 1099-K forms?


Credit card processing and ACH volumes are reported separately. If you qualify for both forms of payment, you may receive two forms. There will be a checkbox on the the 1099-K indicating if it's a credit card (Payment card) or ACH (third party network).

How are the totals calculated?


Volumes include all settled/completed credit card transactions or ACH transactions.
Credit Card processing is summed as Payment Card volume. ACH volume is reported as ‘3rd Party Processing’. From tax year 2021 forward, volumes will no longer include Spendback and SplitPay volume.

Why is the reported total gross payment amount higher than what I collected in rent?

It is required by law for Propay to report the total gross amount of payments processed. Your business can deduct the full cost of merchant fees (convenience fees) on a Schedule C.

These tax deductions do not directly affect your company’s total tax bill. Instead, this tax deduction is subtracted from your gross earnings, which allows you to pay taxes on less than the gross processed amount. This is referenced in this help center article.

How long do I have to correct invalid data?


For the current year, data may be corrected up until Dec 31 without requiring you to contact ProPay. To correct information on 1099-K forms for the prior year, merchants may submit corrections through June. After June the year following the tax year, you will need to work directly with the IRS
