Updated over 3 weeks ago

What is a 1099?

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.


What is a 1099-K form?

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.

📣 Note

Payments marked as paid are not included in HoneyBook-provided 1099-K forms, as these payments were not processed via HoneyBook.


What is a 1099-NEC form?

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.


Why am I receiving a 1099?

Why didn’t I receive a 1099 in 2023?

In 2023 and years prior, 1099-K forms were only required by the IRS for those who processed over $20,000 in payments AND more than 200 transactions.

HoneyBook will file this form on your behalf to the IRS on January 31st, 2025. The form can be downloaded in HoneyBook, and you will need this form to file your 2024 income taxes.


How will my form be delivered?

How do I change the name, address or tax identification number (EIN/SSN) on my form?

What if the amount on my form is incorrect?

The information on the form comes directly from HoneyBook's payment processor, Stripe, and can be cross-referenced with your payments report. To do this, select Finance > select Reports from the top navigation menu, then select Download Reports. Set the date range for 2024 and download the Payments Completed report.

The form does not include refunds, credits, or discounts and reflects only the gross amount processed through HoneyBook, excluding anything marked as paid or processed outside of HoneyBook.

If you find any discrepancies between your report and the form, contact support by clicking the Question Mark icon on any HoneyBook page.


If I'm Canadian, will I receive a 1099?

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.
