As Amazon continues to tighten compliance across its marketplace, tax reporting has become a critical part of account health. For the 2025 tax year, sellers who cross specific thresholds will receive Form 1099-K, issued directly through Seller Central. Understanding the Amazon seller tax report process, updated IRS rules, and required documentation helps sellers avoid delays, penalties, and operational disruptions heading into 2026.
