Which tax forms does MakerPlace provide? 

1099, 1099-K, Schedule C, 1040, Schedule SE—we get it, it can be confusing trying to figure out what you need to file your taxes.  

We’ll make it easy: Michaels will only issue 1099-K forms for MakerPlace. You should consult your accountant or tax professional for guidance, assistance or questions about any other forms.  

 

What is a 1099-K form? 

A 1099 form is for self-employed individuals who are getting paid but not having any income tax collected. A 1099-K is required for individuals being paid from a third-party service like PayPal or in this case, MakerPlace by Michaels.

 

This form summarizes your total sales on MakerPlace. No taxes are withheld on the 1099-K. Consult your tax professional to determine what’s best for filing taxes for your business.
