What is a 1099-K form?

The 1099-K form summarizes the payment card transactions for the prior year. Cash transactions are not included. Each year, GoDaddy provides a 1099-K form to GoDaddy Payments merchants that meet certain criteria.

If a GoDaddy Payments customer requests their 1099-K form earlier than mid-February or hasn't received one and believes they should have, or if they get an error when trying to download it, refer to Escalating GoDaddy Payments Issues.

Am I eligible for a 1099-K form?

You are eligible to receive a 1099-K form for the 2025 tax year if you meet either of the following federal or state requirements:

  • You received gross card transactions payments in 2025 above the federal threshold of US$20,000 and 200 transactions.
  • You transacted in one of the following states or districts with a lower threshold and met their minimum requirement:
    • AR: US$2500 and 1 transaction
    • DC, MA, MD, MT, VA, VT: US$600 and 1 transaction
    • IL: US$1000 and 4 transactions
    • NJ: US$1000 and 1 transaction
Note: If you didn't meet the above requirement, a 1099-K form from GoDaddy isn’t 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 or Account Settings. For GoDaddy Payments, you can also opt-in to receive a physical copy at the mail address entered in your GoDaddy Payments account. Here's how to get your 1099-K form if you're eligible.

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

How many 1099-K forms will I receive?

Eligibility for 1099-K forms is based on total earnings across all GoDaddy products. You’ll receive a 1099-K form for each of the different income streams that apply towards the total.

For example, if you earned US$150,000 (and 200+ transactions) through GoDaddy Payments and then also earned US$50,000 from domains, you’ll receive two 1099-K forms - one for GoDaddy Payments and one for domains.

For GoDaddy Payments transactions, the 1099-K form is provided per business and not per store, so if you have several stores under your business, you’ll receive only one 1099-K form.

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 updated.

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.

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.

(GoDaddy Payments) 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 doesn’t include cash transactions - however, your Dashboard reflects cash transactions. If you’ve accepted cash payments, those will appear in your Dashboard reports but won’t 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.

(GoDaddy Auctions®) What is the gross income of a domain sale?

The IRS requires that Form 1099-Ks include the gross amount of payments processed by GoDaddy as part of each transaction. The gross amount means the total dollar amount of total reportable payment transactions for each participating payee without regard to any adjustments for credits, cash equivalents, discount amounts, fees, refunded amounts, shipping amounts, or any other amounts.

Example:
  • Sale Price: US$10,000
  • GoDaddy commission: (US$2,000)
  • Bank transaction fee: (US$1)
  • Net payment: US$7,999
  • Form 1099-K reportable amount: US$10,000
Note: All payments received through PayPal are included when calculating your total income. You may also receive a separate 1099-K form directly from PayPal. You must review and report your income correctly and address any discrepancies to avoid duplicate reporting on your taxes.
