Payment Settlement Entity (1099K)
Requirement for Payment Settlement Entity to file form 1099K electronically on or before March 31 (New)
G.S. 105-251.2(c), as enacted in S.L. 2017-204, requires payment settlement entities to submit to the Department duplicate copies of all information filed with the IRS pursuant to section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code (i.e. Form 1099-K, “Merchant Card and Third Party Network Payments”). The term “payment settlement entity” has the same meaning as in section 6050W of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to G.S. 105-251.2(d), the entity must submit the Form 1099-K information to the Secretary in an electronic format. There is no provision in North Carolina law that permits the Secretary to waive the electronic filing requirement.
