MyFTB accountGuide to Information Returns Filed With California Revised: 01/31/2022
In general, if you are located in California and filing Form 1098, 1099, 5498, and W-2G paper information returns with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), you do not need to send a paper copy to the state. However, if you have an exception that requires you to report something differently for federal and state purposes, such as a different dollar amount, file separately with the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board (FTB).

*For tax year 2022, third-party settlement organizations that issue Forms 1099-K are only required to report transactions where gross payments exceed $20,000 and there are more than 200 transactions, consistent with the IRS’s recent decision to delay implementation of the new $600 threshold. In general, third-party settlement organizations should file with the FTB the Form 1099-K that they are required to file with the IRS. Please be advised that this delay of the implementation of the new reporting requirements does not impact the requirement to issue a Form 1099-K for payments in settlement of third-party network transactions to app-based drivers for California purposes; the $600 threshold still applies to those payments.
