SeatGeek, and other online marketplaces, are required by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to issue a Form 1099-K for all sellers who receive gross payments of $20,000 from 200 transactions or more from sales on their platform. This means, we’ll ask each seller to provide certain personal information (“Personal Information”), such as your Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), to issue a Form 1099-K once you reach $20,000 from 200 or more transactions in gross sales* on SeatGeek.
In addition, your Personal Information will also be used by SeatGeek to comply with certain Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering requirements, and applicable economic sanctions programs, including those administered by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the U.S. Department of Treasury.
Your Personal Information will be stored in strict confidence and processed only for these compliance purposes, in accordance with SeatGeek’s privacy policy.
Please note, SeatGeek cannot provide tax advice to sellers. For more information, we encourage you to visit the IRS website and consult with your tax advisor. State taxes and tax thresholds vary. Please consult your state tax authority and check out Stripe's state tax requirements info page.
* Gross sales are calculated by finding the sum of the seller's total payout plus all seller fees for that seller's listings. Gross sales will be greater than a seller's payout proceeds.
