Which tax form Fiverr sends

The 2026 1099-K threshold, explained →Expense categories Fiverr workers track
- Fiverr’s commission on each completed order
- Software subscriptions used to deliver gigs
- Microphones, cameras, and computers used for orders
- The work-use share of home internet
- The exclusive-use share of a home office, where the rules are met
- Stock assets, fonts, and templates bought for client work
- Courses that maintain skills in the existing service line
Categories the IRS treats as ordinary and necessary for this kind of work. Whether a specific expense qualifies depends on the facts and on contemporaneous records — the deduction finder totals your own figures without keeping them.

Fiverr processes buyer payments, which places it under the Form 1099-K rules for payment platforms. For 2026, payment apps and online marketplaces are required to issue Form 1099-K only when payments for goods or services exceed $20,000 across more than 200 transactions — the pre-2021 rule reinstated by the One Big Beautiful Bill. A platform may still send one below that level.
