Background/Problem
In 2021, I started collecting online payments through Stripe. I report as a sole proprietorship.
For my 2021 tax year, I did not qualify for a 1099-K, so I reported on payments captured (order date) between 01/01/21 and 12/31/21.
For my 2022 tax year, I did qualify for a 1099-K. The problem is, Stripe 1099-K reports charges based on "Available On" date instead of the order date.
This resulted in payments from the end of 2021 being reported on my 2022 return which was already reported on my 2021 return.
Question
Is there any way to resolve this without amending my 2021 return? For example, adjusting the 2021 over-report in the 2022 Schedule C, miscellaneous? If that is allowable, is it a bad idea from an audit perspective?
I was hoping to avoid amending, not only due to the work, but I found a single issue last year that required me to already amend years 2017 through 2020. So this would be the fifth year amendment in a row. Should this be viewed as an audit concern?
Thank you!
