Important Tax Information: Form 1099-K
Recent legislation has lowered the threshold for issuing Form 1099-K:
New Threshold: $600 in aggregate payments.
Old Threshold: $20,000 and 200 transactions.
While the IRS delayed enforcement of the $600 threshold for 2022, it is expected to apply in future years. This means:
If you collect more than $600 via PGA Coach (through Stripe), you’ll receive a 1099-K.
This applies to payments received from PGA Coach, PGA Jr. League, and PGA Family Cup.
For more details, visit the IRS website on 1099-K Requirements and consult your tax advisor regarding your specific situation.
Next Steps
Once your Stripe account is connected, you can:
Turn on payments per booking type (private lessons, packages, etc.)
Enable payments for group events you create in PGA Coach.
Choose whether to collect payments online through PGA Coach or manually (outside the platform).
