Am I eligible for a 1099-K form?

GoDaddy is required to provide a 1099-K form for the current tax year when specific federal or state requirements are met. These requirements may change from year to year, so you may receive a 1099-K form one year, but not the next. Requirements for a 1099-NEC form are different from 1099-K requirements.

  • Federal: The gross amount of reportable payment transactions to a payee exceeds $20,000 and the number of transactions exceeds 200.
  • State: You transacted in one of the following states or districts and met their minimum requirement:
    • AR: USD$2500 and 1 transaction
    • DC, MA, MD, MT, VA, VT: USD$600 and 1 transaction
    • IL: USD$1000 and 4 transactions
    • NJ: USD$1000 and 1 transaction.
Note: If you didn't meet the above requirement, a 1099-K form from GoDaddy is not required so you will not receive one. Federal and state requirements can change from year to year, so you may receive a 1099-K form one year, but not the next.

By default, you will get an electronic copy, which you'll need to download from your GoDaddy Payments dashboard. You can also opt-in to receive a physical copy at the mail address entered in your GoDaddy Payments account. Here's how to download your 1099-K form if you're eligible.

Note that on October 23, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rolled back a new USD$2500 qualification threshold for 1099-K reporting for the 2025 tax year, and the current federal qualification is USD$20,000 and 200 transactions instead.

How many 1099-K forms will I receive?

You may receive multiple 1099-K forms in a calendar year. Eligibility is based on reportable payment transactions across all GoDaddy products and accounts. You’ll receive a separate 1099-K form for each product and each account that contributes to federal or state threshold requirements.

For example, if GoDaddy Payments and GoDaddy Auctions® are in the same GoDaddy account and threshold requirements are met for both products, you'll receive two separate 1099-K forms. If two separate GoDaddy accounts have GoDaddy Auctions® and threshold requirements are met, you'll receive two separate 1099-K forms.

How to prepare for tax season

To avoid a potential delay in receiving your 1099-K form, make sure your mailing address, email, first and last name, and company name are correct.

To review your current information, from your Dashboard, select Settings, then Payments (if prompted) and then Contact Info. You should review your:
  • First and last name: Ensure that the first and last name match the ones from your ID.
  • Email: Ensure that your email address is correct.
  • Mailing address: Under Company info, verify your mailing address.
  • Company name: Ensure that, under Legal Business Name, you're using the correct company name.
    • If your company is registered with the IRS (LLC, Sole Proprietorship, and so on), the name from this field must match the IRS registration.

Here's how to update your contact info if needed.

Note: If you receive income from both GoDaddy Payments and GoDaddy Auctions®, make sure to review and update your contact info for both products. Updating it for one product will not carry it over to the other.

What is my Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and why is it important?

Your TIN can be either your Employer Identification Number (EIN) or your Social Security Number (SSN). Trusts, estates, partnerships, and similar entities must use EIN as their TIN.

Note: You can find your EIN on the notice issued by the IRS when you applied for an EIN. Alternatively, if you previously filed a return for the business, your EIN would be displayed on that return.

As a payment processor, we must file your TIN with the IRS, and therefore, you must have the correct TIN associated with your GoDaddy Payments account. The IRS cross-references that number with the information they have in their files or the files of the Social Security Administration (SSA). Find out more about how to fix incorrect name/TIN combinations.

If your TIN records don't match the records from the IRS, we'll send you an email. You must follow the link from that email to complete the verification steps.

What if I didn't provide my EIN during onboarding?

  • If you didn't provide your EIN during onboarding, we'll use your SSN to issue a 1099-K form.
  • To report your EIN afterwards, you must provide us with an EIN + IRS Notice before Jan 2026. Please contact us for assistance.
  • If you request to add your EIN after Jan 2026, you may be charged a fee.
  • For other issues or further assistance regarding your TIN, please contact us for assistance.

Why are the numbers in my 1099-K form different than the numbers in my GoDaddy Payments Dashboard and transactions report?

You may want to review your 1099-K form in comparison to the figures in your Dashboard or your transaction reports (learn how to run a transactions report, and what reports are available to you).

There are a couple of reasons you may see a different amount on the form than you see in your Dashboard/reports:

  • Payment method: The 1099-K form does not include cash transactions - however, your Dashboard does include cash transactions. If you’ve accepted cash payments, those will appear in your Dashboard reports but will not be included in the total on the 1099-K form.
  • Time zone differences: The 1099-K form includes transactions made through December 31 (11:59 pm UTC). UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) may be different than the local time zone in your Dashboard. Transactions made after that time will roll over to the following year.
