Just found this article...not really good news for some...

PayPal Quietly Toughens Their 1099-K Issuance Policy

...change PayPal made for the year 2020 and beyond as they broadened the scope of 1099-K issuance to include MassPay payments received, such as payments you’ll receive from Swagbucks, Topcashback, Cardcash, Vivid Seats, Mypoints, Ysense, Cardcash, Ibotta, Dosh, etc

The form 1099-K is for payment processing companies to report those who received more than $20,000 in payments AND had 200+ transactions throughout the calendar year.  In Vermont, Maryland, Virginia, and Massachusetts the threshold for mandatory 1099-K is just $600 in payments with no minimum transaction amount. In Illinois the threshold is three transactions AND $1000 of payments.

I guess I should be glad that Florida doesn't have a State Income Tax.

Florida just keeps looking better and better to this Pennsylvanian.

TN doesn’t have state income tax either, but they are getting very aggressive with online transactions and with small businesses in this state!

So if a person withdraws from Ibotta directly to a bank account, then PayPal is omitted from the equation.

I know Field Agent gives out a 1099 when you hit $600 (I think).  I just started using it in late 2020 so it hasn't affected me yet.

This is another reason to buy gift cards with Ibotta earnings instead of PayPal.
