Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
The bill restores a pre-American Rescue Plan Act reporting exception for third‑party settlement organizations, requiring Form 1099‑K reporting only when a payee exceeds $20,000 in aggregate payments and more than 200 transactions. It also aligns backup withholding rules so such settlement payments are treated as reportable for backup withholding only when those same thresholds are exceeded, with an exception if the prior year already had reportable payments.
Progressives emphasize increased tax gap and enforcement loss.
Narrow, constituency-friendly tax rollback is relatively easy to advance in the House, but ideological disagreement over reporting may produce opposition.
