Before you start
This article applies to U.S.-based HoneyBook members only. HoneyBook doesn’t issue 1099 forms to Canadian members.
The 1099 is a U.S. IRS-only requirement
HoneyBook doesn’t report income to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
HoneyBook doesn’t provide tax advice. Always consult a qualified tax professional for guidance.
1099 forms reflect gross payments processed through HoneyBook, not net income
Know what 1099 forms HoneyBook issued
HoneyBook issued one or both of the following forms, depending on your activity.
1099-K
This form reports credit card and ACH payments processed through HoneyBook within a calendar year.
It shows the total gross amount processed
It doesn’t include refunds, credits, discounts, or fees
Payments marked as paid are excluded because they weren’t processed through HoneyBook
1099-NEC
This form reports non-employee compensation.
HoneyBook issued a 1099-NEC for referral bonuses paid through the Educator program
This form was issued if total referral payments reached $600 USD or more in a calendar year
Reporting thresholds
You received a 1099 if you met IRS or state-level income thresholds.
Federal 1099-K threshold for 2025
HoneyBook issued 1099-K forms to those who met both of the following thresholds:
More than $20,000 USD in payments processed through HoneyBook, and
200+ transactions processed through HoneyBook
If either requirement wasn’t met, HoneyBook didn’t file a federal 1099-K.
State-specific thresholds for 2025
Some states required lower thresholds. HoneyBook filed a 1099-K if your income exceeded the following:
State | 1099-K reporting threshold |
Arkansas | $2,500 USD |
District of Columbia | $600 USD |
Illinois | $1,000 USD and 4+ transactions |
Maryland | $600 USD |
Massachusetts | $600 USD |
Montana | $600 USD |
New Jersey | $1,000 USD |
Rhode Island | $100 USD |
Vermont | $600 USD |
Virginia | $600 USD |
Understand what income was included
Your tax forms reflect payment activity recorded by HoneyBook’s payment processor.
1099-K includes total credit card and ACH payments processed during the tax year
1099-NEC includes referral income only
These amounts weren’t adjusted for refunds, fees, or discounts
Your tax advisor can help you account for adjustments when filing
What wasn’t included on a 1099-K
Only payments processed through HoneyBook’s payment processor were reported on a 1099-K. The following weren’t included:
Payments marked as paid in HoneyBook
Payments collected outside of HoneyBook, including cash, checks, or external transfers
Manually recorded payments
Refunds, credits, discounts, or processing fees
If a payment wasn’t processed through HoneyBook, it won’t appear on the 1099-K, even if it was recorded in your project or payment history.
Confirming your tax and business information
If you received your 1099, HoneyBook had your accurate tax information on file. You were previously asked to provide:
Your legal or business name
Your tax identification number (SSN or EIN)
Your address
The information would’ve matched official government records.
If you filed as an individual: Confirm your SSN and personal legal name were recorded with the Social Security Administration
If you filed as a business: Confirm your EIN and business name were recorded with the IRS. This applies to common business structures, including:
Sole proprietorships with an EIN
Single-member LLCs
Multi-member LLCs
Partnerships
S corporations (S corps)
C corporations (C corps)
The business name entered in HoneyBook must’ve matched IRS records exactly
