The 1099-K Form

With this form, you provide the IRS with monthly and annual gross sales information, including shipping fees and sales tax. Please note that you are not responsible for 1099-K Form if you are an individual seller. It is, instead of you, Amazon itself to provide the 1099-K to IRS and sellers.

1099-K Eligibility

According to the Amazon, the sellers who meet both of the conditions below are to be provided with the form;

– $20,000+ in unadjusted gross sales, and

– Number of transactions: 200+ transactions

If you do not meet the criteria above, yet, are a professional/individual seller with 50+ transactions a year, you still need to provide Amazon with your tax information.

How to Get 1099-K on Amazon

To see the form on Amazon, you need to follow the following path: Seller Central – Reports – Tax Document Library. Please note you will only be able to see the 1099-K if you meet the criteria mentioned above.

Form 1040

If you are conducting business in your state, you will be expected to file Schedule C, or Form 1040.

Sales Tax

Probably the most stressful part of filing taxes as an Amazon seller (especially if you are an FBA seller who uses Amazon’s fulfillment centers in various states) is sales tax.

Sales tax is a tax on items for sale which are deemed non-essential. The list of items may depend on the state to state. For example, some states apply a tax on clothing whereas some others do not.

If and as you are an Amazon seller, you need to collect sales taxes on behalf of your government (depending on the products you sell and the location of your business nexus).

What is a Sales Tax Nexus?

The definition varies from state to state. However, it is mostly defined as a place where there is a physical presence for your business. For example, if you have a home office in New Jersey and an inventory in Texas, you have a sales tax nexus in both. If your office is located in New York, but you have an employee in Delaware you will need to collect sales tax in both states.

When to File Sales Tax

To collect sales tax in the state, you need to apply for a sales tax permit. The state will assign you a filing frequency, which might be monthly, quarterly or annually. Please check the due dates.

In short, LLC is the abbreviation for Limited Liability Company; which, as the name suggests, burdens the owner(s) of a company with limited liability both financially and administratively. Unlike a corporation, the members of an LLC have the freedom to attain the roles, responsibilities, and liabilities of the single members of the company. Through the Operating Agreement which is written and signed by the members of the LLC, the owners of the company can determine their respective roles.

The main feature of an LLC is that the members of an LLC are not required to publicly disclose any personal information to form and maintain their companies. In addition, this privacy can save resources and time if the company decides to add, drop, or transfer members to or from the company in the future. In conclusion, when you start an LLC in Delaware, your information is kept confidential, and you do not have to state who started the business. Accordingly, you don’t have to give information about the other members. However, this may sometimes create problems, especially when you need to state who the owner of your company is.

Proof

To remedy this, the above-mentioned “Operating  Agreement” which includes the regulations about the authority, shares, and liabilities comes into play. As all members should sign this agreement,  you can use this agreement if you need to prove you are a member/owner of this company. Accordingly, there should also be a membership certificate for each member of the company. You can also provide this certificate when needed. This certificate usually states the shares, number of stock shares, and the liabilities of a member.

Although it is not an actual tax return per se, Form 5472 is a declaration/an informational form to be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) annually for U.S. companies with the following conditions.

The “significant” foreign ownership threshold in question for this form is at least twenty-five percent at any time during the tax year. This filing responsibility starts when a U.S. company is 25% foreign- or when a foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business within the United States. A corporation is 25% foreign-owned if it has at least one direct or indirect 25% foreign shareholder at any time during the tax year.

Generally, a foreign person is a 25% foreign shareholder if the person owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% of either. For instance:

• Reporting Corporation: A 25% foreign-owned U.S. corporation (including a foreign-owned U.S. DE), or A foreign corporation engaged in a trade or business within the United States.
• 25% foreign-owned: A corporation is 25% foreign-owned if it has at least one direct or indirect 25% foreign shareholder at any time during the tax year.
• 25% foreign shareholder: Generally, a foreign person (defined later) is a 25% foreign shareholder if the person owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% of either:
• Direct 25% foreign shareholder: A foreign person is a direct 25% foreign shareholder if it owns directly at least 25% of the stock of the reporting corporation by vote or value.
• Ultimate indirect 25% foreign shareholder: An ultimate indirect 25% foreign shareholder is a 25% foreign shareholder whose ownership of stock of the reporting corporation is not attributed (under the principles of section 958(a)(1) and (2)) to any other 25% foreign shareholder.

Please note that depending on certain circumstances, this form has to be filed either separately or as part of the actual tax return. For instance, if the company is a U.S. Disregarded Entity and owned by foreigners, the form must be filed separately.

You might be wondering what would happen if you miss/fail to file this form. It is safe to say that the most essential point is the penalties prescribed for the failure to file. It is essential to ensure to have adequate records and information to timely prepare Form 5472 and keep proof of the timely filing of the returns to avoid assessment of the penalty. Otherwise, the company would be at risk to face stiff penalties. The penalty for not filing or failure to file in a timely manner can be from $10,000 to $25,000.  This penalty is often automatically assessed by the Internal Revenue Service if a tax return containing Form 5472 is filed late.

In short, if your US company has a foreign owner or foreign shareholders then the company probably has to file form 5472 with the IRS.
