FAQs

Which taxpayer IDs are required for my Form 1099-K?

For 1099-K requirements, the only US Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) accepted are:

• A federal Employer Identification Number (EIN),
• A federal Social Security Number (SSN), or
• An Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

This system will reject any other tax or permit number provided if it’s not one of the three listed above.

I’m not a US citizen, do I need to provide taxpayer information?

If you are not a US citizen and don’t file a US tax return, the tax reporting requirements mentioned above do not apply to you.

If you aren’t located in the US but you are paid in USD, we will need a Form W-8 BEN on file to remove you from the 1099-K obligation. Reach out to 1099taxreporting@reverb.com for more information.

I’m an individual seller, do I need to provide taxpayer information?

Based on new US tax reporting requirements as of January 1, 2023, all US sellers that hit $600 in sales on Reverb are required to provide tax identification information so that we can issue you a Form 1099-K. This is required whether you are an individual or a business. If you reach the $600 threshold and don’t provide the necessary tax information, your payouts will temporarily be put on hold until you enter your tax information.
