OfferUp partners with Stripe, a secure payment processing service, to allow you to get paid for shipping sales in the app. During the calendar year, Stripe keeps track of all the payment transactions they process on your behalf. If you receive more than $600 USD during the year, Stripe is required to report your earnings to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and to provide you with a Form 1099-K for your income tax return. To learn more, see our FAQs below.

What is Form 1099-K?
Form 1099-K is an informational IRS form used to report your payment transactions through third-party payment processors (like Stripe), and to assist you in reporting your taxes. For more information on Form 1099-K, see IRS.gov and 1099-K forms issued by Stripe.
Who will get Form 1099-K?
If you received payments through Stripe totaling more than $600 USD during the calendar year, you can expect to get Form 1099-K.
How will I get Form 1099-K?
Your Form 1099-K will be mailed to you by January 31 via USPS First-Class Mail. If you don’t receive your 1099-K in the mail by the end of February, tap Contact Us at the bottom of this page for assistance.
What address will Form 1099-K be delivered to?
Throughout the year, OfferUp sends you periodic notifications asking you to provide Stripe with your current address (see Personal data required for in-app payments). Your Form 1099-K will be delivered to the most recent address you provided to Stripe via the OfferUp notification.
If you need to update your address at the end of the calendar year, but haven’t received a notification to do so, please contact Stripe Support for assistance.
Can I have Form 1099-K emailed to me?
No. At this time, we are unable to provide Form 1099-K by email.
Will my cash sales be documented on Form 1099-K?
No. In-person transactions facilitated by the OfferUp app are not tracked for Form 1099-K reporting purposes. Only sales completed through the shipping service using Stripe are tracked for this IRS reporting obligation.
For questions on reporting your cash sales, please contact a qualified tax advisor.
What do I do with Form 1099-K?
If you sell through OfferUp as a small business or as a regular hobby, you may need to report your income from OfferUp sales on your tax return. If so, use the information provided on Form 1099-K to help you complete your tax return.

Please contact Stripe Support to correct any mistakes on your Form 1099-K.
