CP2000 Defense Strategy: 1099-K Discrepancy

For TechFlow Inc., a CP2000 notice regarding 1099-K income typically results from gross volume reporting that doesn't account for pass-throughs, refunds, or shared payee structures under IRC § 6050W.

Required Documentation:

  • Form 1099-K reconciliation worksheet matching gross to reported income
  • Merchant processing statements showing exact pass-through distributions
  • Affidavits from downstream payees (if applicable)
Always consult a CPA licensed in your state.
