Eligible U.S. Etsy sellers can download Form 1099-K from the Legal and tax information page in Shop Manager. The form reports applicable gross Etsy Payments sales, not deposits, revenue after expenses, or net profit.
How to download an Etsy 1099-K
- Sign in on Etsy.com and open Shop Manager.
- Select Finances.
- Open Legal and tax information.
- Under Your tax year, choose the required year.
- Select Download 1099-K and wait for the PDF to complete.
- Save an untouched copy in a private location.
Etsy says eligible electronic forms appear by the end of January. A paper form is mailed only when the seller opted out of paperless-only delivery by Etsy’s deadline.
Why the 1099-K total differs from deposits
| Record | What it represents | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| 1099-K gross sales | Applicable gross Etsy Payments sales | Does not subtract common business expenses |
| Bank deposits | Funds Etsy sent to the bank | Affected by fees, refunds, taxes, reserves and timing |
| Orders CSV | Order information | Order Total has a different calculation purpose |
| Etsy Payments Sales CSV | Payment-level sales records | Its Gross column supports reconciliation |
Etsy directs sellers reconciling Form 1099-K to download the Etsy Payments Sales CSV and total the Gross column for the fiscal year. Work from a copy and retain the original export.
If the form is missing or will not download
- Confirm that you selected the correct tax year.
- Check whether Etsy says your shop was eligible for that year.
- Verify valid taxpayer information in Legal and tax information.
- If the download errors, Etsy says a brief IRS outage may be responsible; try again later.
- Use official Etsy Support for account-specific discrepancies.
A missing 1099-K does not by itself determine whether sales must be reported. Eligibility, federal rules, and state rules can differ.
If you operate multiple Etsy shops
Etsy says shops using the same taxpayer ID contribute to a combined 1099-K, and the same form is available in each shop. Verify that every shop has matching legal name, address, and SSN or EIN. Payments processed outside Etsy Payments, such as separate in-person Square sales, are not included in Etsy’s form.
