Beginning January 1, 2022, the IRS threshold for reporting amounts on Form 1099-K is dropping from $20,000 and 200 transaction to $600. This means that any Hagerty MSR organizer who has processed $600 or more in registration fees during the 2022 year will be issued a 1099-K.

Hagerty MSR is required to issue 1099-K forms to all eligible US-based users who accept payments, independent of their business type or activity. Even for tax-exempt activities, which may potentially include the acceptance of donations, we are obligated to issue a 1099-K form. The 1099-K is for informational purposes only and we recommend consulting a tax advisor to learn more about this form and how you should use it.

In order to avoid errors with the forms, where they are sent, and most important to prevent your payouts from being disabled we are asking that you please update your organization's identity documents within your MSR account. This must be done prior to October 11, 2022. Any account which has missing or unverified identity information after October 11, 2022 will have their payouts disabled until the information is updated and verified.

Please follow the steps below to verify and update your account information. This process should only take a few minutes, and must be completed by the primary account administrator.

8. Click the blue “Save” button.
