Article Summary: Information on filing taxes for your business.
As independent stylists or salon owners, you get the freedom and the responsibilities that come with being your own boss. You set your own hours, design your own client experience, and bear all authority for your own finances. That includes filing your taxes correctly.
Doing taxes as an independent stylist or salon owner might seem overwhelming at first, but with a little preparation, you don’t have to dread those IRS forms. By using StyleSeat Payments, you get the benefit of receiving tax documentation and support from StyleSeat.
StyleSeat will only send tax forms to professionals who process payments through StyleSeat.
Payment processors and online marketplaces, such as StyleSeat, are required to file and send a Form 1099-K if the earned total gross volume is greater than 20,000 USD and you have 200+ transactions.
NOTE: Certain states have thresholds for filing a 1099-K that differ from the federal requirements. If you processed transactions in these states, you may need to file a 1099-K. It's important to consult your state and local guidelines to determine if you are required to file a 1099-K in your state.
Receiving tax documents by traditional mail can often lead to delays and complications. To address these issues, we now offer the option for professionals to receive their tax documents electronically.
Please note that the default method of delivery is paper. To switch to paperless delivery, you must opt-in. Be sure to opt-in to e-delivery by January 18th. If you do not select paperless by January 18th, your tax forms will be sent via mail to the address on file with your account.
