Shopify Payments reports gross sales on a 1099-K, and clean cost of goods sold separates revenue from real profit.
Shopify store owners report on Schedule C, and gross sales processed through Shopify Payments are reported on a 1099-K before fees, shipping, and refunds.
Whether you hold inventory or dropship, accurate cost of goods sold is essential, since the platform reports revenue but never your product costs.
Income you’ll report on: 1099-K.
Most people in this line of work leave money on the table. Here's what we make sure to capture:
If you earn as an independent contractor, yes — self-employment tax is 15.3% (Social Security and Medicare) on your net profit, on top of regular income tax. You deduct half of it, and every business deduction lowers what you owe. We handle the calculation on Schedule SE.
Common write-offs include cost of goods sold for products sold, shopify subscription and app fees, payment processing and transaction fees, shipping supplies, postage, and fulfillment, plus a share of your phone and any home-office use. We go through your year line by line so nothing legitimate gets missed.
If you expect to owe $1,000 or more for the year, the IRS generally wants quarterly estimated payments to avoid an underpayment penalty. We calculate them so next April isn't a surprise.
Yes. Your income is taxable whether or not a client or platform sent a 1099. We report it correctly and offset it with every deduction you qualify for.
