In 2009, legislation was passed
requiring payment card processors to file Forms 1099-K reporting
payment card transactions for businesses who accept this form of
payment. The IRS is launching pilots aimed at determining the best
method for and the value of using the 1099-K information to
identify and treat non-compliant taxpayers. Notices are sent to
taxpayers who have been identified as potential underreporters. The
notices inform them that their return has been selected for further
inquiry since the portion of their reported gross receipts
attributable to 1099-K card payments appear atypically large, which
may suggest potential underreporting of non-card payments (e.g.
cash). Taxpayers are requested to fill out this form to correct for
1099-K data errors and provide additional information that may
explain their outlier figures.

Settlement of Payment
The Form 14420 was reformatted
by adding ‘yes/no’ response boxes for each item and space for the
taxpayer to provide a written response when the item is applicable
to the taxpayer. Bulleted items were replaced with numbers making
it easier for the taxpayer to respond to specific items. The
current form’s purpose was added to the instructions box at the top
of page 1, which provides transparency. The form provides the
taxpayer up to five Forms 1099–K. To benefit taxpayers with up to
ten Forms 1099–K, online information was added. The taxpayer has
the option of going to www.IRS.gov to retrieve their Forms 1099–K
filed with the IRS. Due to additions to the Form 1099–K, columns
were added to the Form 14420 table to account for ‘card not
present’ (online sales) and ‘number of payment transactions.’ The
form’s length remains at three pages. The changes provide clarity,
resulting in reduced time and reduced burden on the taxpayer to
complete the form and for the tax examiners to review and evaluate
taxpayer responses.
