The IRS has announced that the threshold for the 2025 tax reporting season will be $20,000 and 200 sales.
If you earn $20,000 or more in gross sales during a calendar year, and make 200 or more completed sales, Etsy is required by the IRS to provide you a 1099-K form with your Etsy sales and transactions the following January.
You’ll be issued a Form 1099-K from Etsy if you met either the federal threshold or a threshold for your state in 2025.
You’ll be issued a 1099-K from Etsy if your shop is based in one of the states that have a sales threshold for receiving a 1099-K and your sales meet the threshold.
If you aren’t a seller located in the US and aren’t paid in USD, you won’t receive a 1099-K form.

What counts as gross sales
On Etsy, your gross sales is your income before expenses are subtracted.
Your gross sales is the total amount your buyers have paid you, for the entire year, without subtracting expenses, such as:
Fees
, Refunds
, Shipping costs
.
Any payments not processed through Etsy Payments won’t be included in your 1099-K. For example, in-person sales through Square.
Etsy collects and remits sales tax for many states on your behalf.
Etsy says those collected amounts are not part of the 1099-K total. Where Etsy collects sales tax.
If you run multiple shops, the sales across all your shops will be combined based on your SSN/EIN number.
Getting the form right
To be sure the information on your 1099-K is correct, check that you’ve entered a valid SSN, ITIN, or EIN, matching taxpayer name, and mailing address on your Legal and tax information page.
You can choose to have a paper 1099-K form mailed to you by opting out of paperless-only delivery by December 31 of the tax year.
Receiving a 1099-K form doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll owe taxes on your Etsy sales.
The 1099-K form we issue doesn’t calculate your profit or indicate any tax liabilities you may have—it simply gives the total gross sales processed by Etsy Payments in 2025.
