You will be issued an IRS 1099-K form if:
- You received more than $20,000 in total reportable payments in 2025 and hosted more than 200 bookings on the platform in 2025.
- Or, Outdoorsy withheld taxes from your payouts for some or all of 2025.
If you meet the requirements above, Outdoorsy will prepare a 1099-K tax form for your personal or business income taxes. Your form will be ready by January 31st for the prior tax year, and is available within the Taxes tab of your account.
We’ll also notify the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of your reportable payments.
As always, we encourage you to consult a tax professional for assistance reporting your income.
Manage your tax info
You can add, update, or check your tax information within the Taxes tab of your account.
1099-K delivery preference
You can choose to receive a printed tax form by mail or a digital copy through your online account.
Tax withholding
If you don’t submit your tax info, we’ll continue to withhold at least 24% of your payouts as income tax. We remit this to the IRS for you. However, this isn’t ideal.
You may not get credit for the tax payments since they go to the IRS without your tax information. That could result in long phone calls with the IRS or even having to pay the taxes a second time.
