The 1099-K is not entered as an actual form in the return, like the W-2 or 1099-DIV or -INT.  So the IRS won't be matching it like they do with the other forms.  For example, the IRS receives a copy of the W-2 and they look at your return to see if you have the W-2 in your return.  They don't do that with the 1099-K since there is not a direct 1099-K entry in the 1040.

 

Because of this, do NOT enter the 1099-K income in the 1040.  Just enter it in your S-Corp return.

 

In the VERY unlikely event the IRS sends you a letter, just respond that you included it in your S-Corp return.  They are happy are long as income is declared somewhere and taxes paid on it.
