Understanding Squarespace 1099-K Forms: What You Need to Know
TL;DR: Key Points
- Squarespace issues 1099-K forms automatically if your sales exceed specific thresholds
- Double-check your personal and business information in Squarespace Payments settings to ensure forms reach you
- Forms arrive by post, postmarked by 31st January
- Missing or incorrect forms? Contact Squarespace Support directly
What Is a 1099-K Form?
The 1099-K is a US tax document that reports the gross amount of all payment transactions your business processed. If you use Squarespace Payments and hit certain earning thresholds, you'll receive one of these forms.
Think of it as Squarespace's way of telling the tax authorities how much money flowed through your online shop.
Do You Qualify for a 1099-K?
You'll get a 1099-K form from Squarespace if you're US-based and your transactions meet either:
- The $5,000 federal threshold, or
- Your state's lower threshold (some states have different rules)
How to Check Your Details in Squarespace
Getting your 1099-K depends on Squarespace having the right contact information. Here's how to verify everything's correct:
- Open Settings in your Squarespace dashboard
- Click "Accept Credit Cards and More", then "Manage Settings"
- Under "Contact Information", check your email and business address are spot-on
- Review your personal details and home address
- Use the pencil icon to edit anything that's wrong
- Submit your changes
Important: Updating these details might pause your payment processing temporarily whilst Squarespace re-verifies your account.
Quick tip: Check your form details as soon as they arrive. Spotting errors early makes fixing them much easier.
Common Questions About 1099-K Forms
When will my form arrive?
Squarespace posts 1099-K forms by 31st January. First-class delivery can take up to 10 business days, so don't panic if it doesn't arrive immediately.
What if my form doesn't show up?
If you've hit the thresholds ($5,000 federal or your state minimum) but no form arrives, contact Squarespace Customer Support. They can track down what's happened.
Can I fix errors on my 1099-K?
Yes, but you'll need Squarespace Customer Support to sort out corrections. Don't try to fix tax forms yourself.
