2026 tax season — reconcile your 1099-K before April 15

Your 1099-K says $90,690. Your records include $16,481 in adjustments.

Form 1099-K reports gross payments without subtracting items such as fees or refunds. TaxMatch compares that gross with imported Shopify Payments, PayPal, Stripe, or CSV records and prepares a worksheet for you and your tax professional to review.

The multi-processor trap

Sell on more than one processor? You'll get more than one 1099-K.

Shopify Payments, PayPal, and Stripe may each issue a form. Use every form together with your underlying records when preparing a return.

PayPal isn’t in your Shopify 1099-K

PayPal may issue its own form. Keep each form with the underlying records so your tax professional can review the complete picture.

Combine and de-dup — carefully

Two or three forms have to be summed without double-counting overlapping transactions. TaxMatch reconciles every processor into one clean worksheet.

Match by transaction date

IRS instructions determine the dollar amount on the transaction date. Match transaction-level records rather than relying only on payout timing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about 1099-K reconciliation and TaxMatch.

What is 1099-K reconciliation?
Form 1099-K reports gross payments without adjustments for items such as fees, refunds, credits, shipping, cash equivalents, or discounts. Reconciliation compares that gross figure with your records and organizes potential adjustments for review. TaxMatch does not determine taxable income or file a tax return.
Do I need a Shopify store?
No. TaxMatch works as a standalone web app. You can import transactions via CSV or connect PayPal/Stripe directly. Shopify integration is optional — if you have a Shopify store, you can also install TaxMatch as an embedded app for even tighter integration.
How does the 30-day free trial work?
Every plan includes a 30-day free trial. You get full access to all features in your chosen plan. If you don't subscribe before the trial ends, your account is paused until you pick a plan.
Is my financial data secure?
Processor credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before storage and supported processor connections use TLS. TaxMatch reads transaction records for reconciliation; it cannot move funds. Review the privacy and security documentation for the current data-handling details.
What payment processors are supported?
TaxMatch supports Shopify Payments, PayPal, and Stripe out of the box with automatic syncing. You can also import data from any processor using CSV upload. We are continuously adding new integrations.
Can my CPA access my data?
Yes. On Pro and Premium plans, you can invite your CPA or accountant to view your reconciliation data and download worksheets. They get read-only access to exactly what they need — nothing more.
My CPA already handles my taxes — do I need this?
TaxMatch organizes imported records and adjustment categories into a worksheet your CPA can review. It does not replace professional judgement, decide deductibility, or prepare or file your return.
What if the IRS sends me a mismatch notice (CP2000)?
A CP2000 proposes changes when third-party information does not match a return. TaxMatch can organize processor records and adjustment categories for you and your tax professional to review, but it does not determine the correct response, prevent a notice, or provide tax advice.
How is this different from QuickBooks, A2X, or Synder?
QuickBooks, A2X, and Synder cover broader accounting or commerce-sync workflows. TaxMatch focuses on comparing 1099-K gross amounts with supported processor or CSV records and does not require a separate accounting-platform connection.
What happens after my trial expires?
If your 30-day trial ends without selecting a paid plan, your account is paused. Your data is preserved — nothing is deleted. Once you subscribe to any plan, your account reactivates immediately with all your data intact.
How accurate is the reconciliation?
TaxMatch calculates from the records and categories supplied to it. You should verify imported data, classifications, and worksheet totals against source records. Tax treatment depends on your facts; TaxMatch is not a tax adviser or filing service.

Already received an IRS mismatch notice? See our CP2000 guide for how to respond.

Stop guessing. Start reconciling.

Form 1099-K Box 1a reports gross payments — it does not calculate taxable income. Refunds, fees, chargebacks, and sales tax all inflate the number. TaxMatch explains every dollar of the gap.
