Yes, it’s mandatory to make tax payments on the cash app. The law clearly states that the filing must be done by cash app through a copy of the form under 1099- B within the relevant tax year. 

The IRS does not differentiate between the income that flows into the cash app and the traditional bank account. The cash app has to report such inflow of payments as part of taxable income when filing returns. 

A 1099- K form will be sent to the cash app for business accounts if they accept payments above $20K or 200 payments within the calendar year cumulatively. 

If all the information pertaining to the taxpayer is associated with the MO, the 1099- K would have to be submitted. The same condition of 20k and 200 continues to apply here. 

In case doubts persist, you should avail of the services of a tax professional. If not, visit the website; IRS FORM 1099- K Payment Card and Third Party Network Transactions.

If your taxpayer information is associated with MO, we’ll issue a Form 1099-K if you processed $1,200 or more in a year.*If your taxpayer information is associated with Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, Washington D.C., or Virginia, we are required to issue a 1099-K and report to your state when you accept $600 or more. If your taxpayer information is associated with Illinois, we are required to issue a 1099-K and report to your state when you accept more than $1,000 with over three transactions.
