Form 1099 is a series of IRS tax forms used to report income received by individuals aside from conventional wages, salaries, or tips. There are various types of Form 1099, each intended for specific income categories. HoneyBook will issue both 1099-K and 1099-NEC forms to individuals who meet the thresholds outlined below.

Form 1099-K is issued to taxpayers to report credit and debit card transactions, as well as third-party network payments. It shows the total gross amount of all reportable payment transactions within a calendar year.

This gross amount does not account for credits, discounts, fees, refunds, or any other adjustments. Consult a tax advisor for guidance on how to use the information from your 1099-K when filing your taxes.

Form 1099-NEC reports non-employee compensation. Payments of $600 or more made to non-employees within a calendar year must be reported on this form.

As HoneyBook members are non-employees, referral payments will be included on the 1099-NEC.

If you received a 1099, you met a US minimum income threshold for payments received through HoneyBook (1099-K) or referral bonuses paid (1099-NEC). Here are the thresholds:

If you are Canadian, you will not receive a 1099 from HoneyBook. This is because the 1099 is a document required by the United States IRS and Canada doesn't have an equivalent rule on tax reporting to what the 1099 provides. Additionally, HoneyBook doesn't report data to the CRA.
