1099-K mailed requested?

[Rhonda45]

How do I request a 1099-K from Airbnb mailed to me?  I had a terrible time getting help downloading it as I oh use an IPad.  When I contacted them I was told they couldn’t mail it to me.  After a week of getting help, I was given a bunch of directions with a password to open it.  

I never had this problem until tax year 2023.  Prior years I never had a problem.

They are required to mail it automatically by January 31st. They probably haven't sent it yet. It can also be found in your Account/Taxes/Tax Documents. If you don't meet the threshold of over $5,000 income, you won't get one:

I had to get help trying to download it last year which took a long password and many steps to open it through my IPad.  I don’t have a PC.  Also, I was told they don’t mail them because I can download my 1099-K.  

I know what is supposed to happen, but neither did!

Did you have an cell phone and can check in the App?  Otherwise, if you think you qualify for the over $5,000 threshold, then you might want to ask a friend to use their PC if it's not available on the App on a phone.

How do I get 1099-K mailed to me?  My earnings were well over $5,000.  They have never mailed it to me.  I always have to download it but last year I was unable to.

@Rhonda45 , same issue here. Im in Ohio.  I have even looked at the place on airbnb for taxes and it shows nothing. I praying and hoping they mail one out to me this year as I have never received one from them before... 

[Monica3027]

as you can see I never received a document. will I be receiving one this year as it now states if your income is over 20K?

[Monica3027]

never received tax doc. even though we have over 20K income.. Im praying and hoping they send us one this year!!

I would keep checking as they have until Jan 31, 2025 (per IRS) to mail them. If you had over $5,000 in 2024 you should see it for download and in the mail.

...

Previous years you had to have over $20,000 AND over 200 bookings (transactions). Many Hosts had the over $20,000 but not the 200+ bookings (transactions), so therefore did not receive a 1099K.

The new threshold requires reporting of transactions in excess of $600 per year; changed from the previous threshold of an excess of $20,000 and an excess of 200 transactions per year. Third-party settlement organizations are required to report payments for goods and services..."
