If you’re having trouble updating this information, please contact us.
Reported amount corrections
If there is a discrepancy in the reported amounts or the amounts do not agree with your records, please note the following:
1099-K: As required by IRS reporting regulations, the totals reported on your 1099-K represent your Gross Earnings before adjustments such as resolutions, cancellations, and Airbnb Fees. You can use the Gross Transaction History and Earnings Summary to reconcile your tax reports.
For detailed information, please refer to our Help Centre articles on understanding your Form 1099-K and how to reconcile your Form 1099-K.
If you can’t reconcile your tax document or still need help, please contact us.
Reported amount corrections (multiple taxpayers)
If you have made payout allocations to different payout methods and need more than one tax document issued, you’ll need to contact us to process a correction.
Address corrections
We do not process Form 1099 corrections resulting from address changes. If your address did change, please be sure to update the address on your taxpayer information form (W-9/W-8) so that the correct address is used for future tax reporting.
