Title: No 1099 for Kobo?
Post by: notthatamanda on February 09, 2019, 11:42:37 PM

I printed the "invoices" of my payments for 2018 and will total manually, I guess.  Am I missing something?  Thanks for your help.

Rant:  8:30 in the morning here and I need a drink.  Eff taxes in the butt with a very large cactus.

I don't know that Canada has any agreement with the U.S. to send them. Most foreign countries have no legal obligation to do so, but as a close neighbor, it is possible Canada might.

Kobo's FAQ says that since they're Canadian, they don't need a tax payer id number.    I'm just trying to double check everything.  Thank you for responding.  Amanda

Edit:  They're not their.  Duh.

Kobo doesn't provide them to non-Canadians. Apple only provides a 1099-K and only if certain thresholds are met (at least 200 transactions that total at least 20,000).

Thanks, I'd forgotten all about the Kobo direct sales.
