Multiple 1099-K forms received

[Rodrigo100]

Does anyone else here have received multiple 1099-K and/or 1099-MISC for a fiscal year?

If so, is there any logic to how each one is structured?

For several years now, I have received multiple 1099 forms. I am a primary host with several properties (listings). In addition, I also co-host with several listings that belong to others and for which I receive a paid commission.

Would this be the reason I receive several 1099 forms? If so, would I receive a 1099 for my own listings and one per co-host? For example, If I am a primary host for three properties and a co-host for five other listings belonging to five different hosts AND I meet the income threshold for each listing, should I receive 6 different 1099 forms (one for my hosting income and five for each co-hosting income)?

Any enlightening comments would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Rodrigo100 😊, 

thank you for asking this here!

Have you found an answer to your question?

Since this is a very specific one, I recommend connecting with local hosts in your area through our 👉 Local Host Clubs to ask them about it.

Warm regards 🌻,

Thank you for your suggestion, @Elisa 

No, I have not received an answer from anyone.

I contacted the superhost support line, who in turn contacted me, via email (not sure why), with someone with supposedly more knowledge on forms 1099s.

However, for whatever reason, they do not want or cannot provide any information regarding the sources of income of my multiple 1099 forms.

To be clear, I don't believe this is a local issue. ALL Airbnb hosts in the US who meet a threshold, will receive at least one 1099 form to report to the IRS when doing taxes. So it's hard for me to believe that my situation applies locally.

It may be a specific case, sure, but that's why I asked here if anyone out there has also received more than one 1099 each year. If more than one replies in the affirmative, then my case is not unique, right?

Therefore, to answer your question, no, no one at Airbnb has been willing to assist me for reasons that I do not understand.

Thank you for asking.

Hi @Rodrigo100 ,

I have the opposite problem of only receiving one 1099 for my properties, and due to how each property is titled, I need separate 1099 forms. I am interested to know how you have yours listed that you were able to get individual forms per property. 

Thanks, SAndra

Hi @Sandra216 ,

I wish I could tell you that each one of my 1099s represent one different property. That would be easy for me. Instead, there's no rhythm or rhyme to them. That's exactly what I'm trying to get some at Airbnb to help me understand them. But after repeated attempts, no one seems to either want to or willing to assist me.

If it helps you, your payout reports can sort your income by listing, therefore you can tell which listing has provided your income reported as one total in your 1099. That should be fairly simple.

Good luck,

Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,

I do not have an answer, but wanted to comment to say I had a similar question about the 1099s I received this year. I received a 1099-MISC that I can clearly tell is related to a referral bonus we received this year. However, then I received 2 separate 1099-K forms. I am not really sure why this is. I also have listings that belong to me and listings that I am a co-host for. I would have assumed that one 1099-K would be for my rentals, and another would be for my co-hosting, but then the dollar amount on the second 1099-K was much too small for that to be the case.

If you end up finding an answer, I'd be really curious to know what you find!

Hi @Carissa92, well, I'm sorry you're having this issue, but I'm glad I'm not alone in the world.

I've been after Airbnb for about a year about this, and they only provide me with generic answers that are typically found on help pages that they provide.

If I do manage to move the needle, I will certainly share with you and this forum.

I simply do not understand why Airbnb cannot be more forthcoming about where our income comes from. I just don't get it.
