# 1099-K reconciliation calculator

A 1099-K reports gross payments, so it rarely equals the sales in your books. Enter the items that explain the difference and see what is left to account for.

How it works

## How it works

Start with **Box 1a gross** from the form. Subtract what it includes that is not your sales for the year: **refunds** (the form shows payments before refunds), **sales tax** you collected, **shipping** you passed through, **personal or non-business payments** such as friends repaying you, and **amounts that belong to another year**. What is left should line up with the sales in your books.

Rather not file them yourself? [1099-NEC preparation and filing](/bookkeeping/1099-nec-filing-service).

Processing fees are not subtracted here: the form reports gross before fees, and fees belong in your expenses. Keep records that support every item.

FAQ

## About this calculator

**Why is my 1099-K higher than my sales?**

It reports gross payments: before refunds and fees, and sometimes including sales tax, shipping and payments that were not business income.

**Do I subtract processing fees?**

Not here. The form reports gross before fees. Fees are a business expense recorded separately in your books.

**What if there is still a gap?**

Look for payments recorded in a different year, a second account or platform, or sales entered twice. Keep the records, and ask your tax preparer how to report what you find. This tool is not tax advice.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.
