New IRS merchant reporting - form 1099-K
Anyone have any experience with this? Effective Jan 1, 2011, credit card processors are required to report your GROSS merchant deposits to the IRS. I can't for the life of me figure out why this is needed, since the GROSS and NET are two completely different numbers, and as far as I know, your GROSS numbers are not shown on your tax filings (total receipts).
Any number of things can reduce your GROSS amount:
Cost of goods
Chargebacks
Refunds
Cash back
Etc
I can understand the IRS looking for more compliance, but this doesn't make sense at all to me.
