Information about end-of-year tax forms for Superpeer hosts
Updated at December 16, 2020.
Depending on your account activity, your taxpayer status, and other factors, you may receive a tax form from Superpeer.
We encourage you to consult a tax professional for assistance reporting your income from Superpeer.
US residents who have earned over $20,000 and have had 200+ transactions
MA or VT state residents who have earned over $600
Non US-residents who have submitted a W-8ben form to us
The US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires US companies that process payments, including Superpeer, to report gross earnings for all US users who earn over $20,000 and have 200+ transactions in the calendar year. If you exceed both IRS thresholds in a calendar year, Superpeer will issue you a Form 1099-K.
Transactions refer to Superpeer balance withdrawals as reflected on your bank statement.
The state reporting threshold is lower than the IRS threshold of $20,000 and 200 transactions.
Both MA and VT have an information reporting requirement where gross earnings exceed $600. Gross earnings above $600 are not reportable to the IRS because it's below the federal reporting threshold of $20K and 200 transactions, but is reportable to the state because it's above the state threshold of $600. If you have met the state threshold, you’ll receive a printed form that has been filed with your respective state.
Any Form 1099-K issued to you will be available in your Payout tab. You'll receive an email notification when your form is ready, typically in late January of each year. We also mail a copy to the address you provided along with your bank information. You may receive more than one Form 1099-K if your taxpayer information is listed on multiple Superpeer accounts.
We do not automatically provide tax forms for non-US hosts. If you submit a Form W-8Ben by emailing us at hello@superpeer.com, we will provide a Form 1042-S.
You'll receive a Form 1042-S in the mail at the address you entered when you submitted your bank information, typically in late February of each year. The IRS requires that we mail Form 1042-S by the end of March.
