Company pays with Paypal and sends 1099-NEC each year. What will happen when issued 1099-K for same amount?

I receive a 1099-NEC every year from a company for book royalties. The company pays me monthly via Paypal. What should I do next year when I receive a 1099-NEC from the company and a 1099-K from Paypal for the same amount? I'm sure there will be many others in the same situation.

Assuming that you correctly report the income reported on the IRS form 1099-NEC, In TurboTax Online, report the IRS form 1099-K which duplicates the income as follows:

 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
  • Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
  • Scroll down to Other Common Income.  Click on the down arrow to the right.
  • Click the Start/Revisit  button to the right of Form 1099-K.
  • At the screen Did you get a 1099-K? click Yes.
  • At the screen How would you like to enter your 1099-K? click Type it in myself.  Click Continue.
  • At the screen Choose which type of income your 1099-K is for, select the button for Hobby income.  Click Continue.
  • At the screen Let’s get the info from your 1099-K, enter the information.  Click Continue.
  • Select This amount in box 1a is too high or includes some personal transactions.
  • Enter the full amount of the 1099-K in the box Enter the amount that shouldn't be included.
  • At the screen Your 1099-K summary, notice that the income relates to ‘Hobby’.      Click Done.

The entry will be reported:

 

  • on line 8j of Schedule 1 of the Federal 1040 tax return, and 
  • on line 8 of the Federal 1040 tax return.

Under Tax Tools / Print Center / Print, save or preview this year's return / Include government and TurboTax worksheets, you will find the exclusion noted on the Schedule 1 Line 8 Other Income Statement.
