Hi there,

Tax law requires that Square provide account holders who process over $20,000 and over 200 credit card payments with a 1099-K before January 31st of the following year.

Cash and Other Tender payments are not included in the total we report on the 1099-K forms, so you should be good to go 🙂 .

I called Square customer support and was told that all sales over 20,000 are reported on the 1099-K to the IRS whether it be cash or card.

Hello @kboyette!

I'm really sorry about this, but the advocate you spoke to provided incorrect information. Cash sales are not included in your 1099-K. We have an article titled 1099-K Tax Reporting Information that outlines this.

I'll follow up with the advocate you spoke to, so this doesn't happen again.
