Vrbo is required by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to send you a tax form if you have processed payments on our platform in one of the following categories:

Criteria

Requirements

1. You are a U.S. person, and we processed payment transactions with a gross amount exceeding $5,000 USD during the calendar year 2024.

You will receive IRS Form 1099-K to report the gross value of transactions processed on your behalf.

For more information about Form 1099-K, read Understanding Your Form 1099-K.

2. You are a non-U.S. person listing a property in the U.S.

You will receive IRS Form 1042-S with the amount of rental income generated by your U.S. property, and any U.S. income tax that was withheld

For more information about U.S. income tax withholding on non-U.S. persons, read NRA withholding.

 

Exceptions

If you are a U.S. person and the address on the active Form W-9 falls within a state with a threshold below the federal threshold (over $5,000 USD), and your gross payment transaction value exceeds the state threshold, Vrbo will file a Form 1099-K with the appropriate state only.

Receive your tax forms

Each year, Vrbo mails Form 1099-K in late January and Form 1042-S in early March.

  • For Tax Year 2024, Vrbo will mail all Forms 1099-K and 1042-S.
  • For Tax Year 2025, Vrbo will provide electronic delivery (same delivery date) if you selected this option in your tax profile. We highly recommend choosing electronic delivery.

Your responsibility

Regardless of whether we send you a tax form, it’s your responsibility to determine your income tax for U.S. income tax purposes. Amounts not required to be reported to the IRS by Vrbo may still be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax. Please consult your U.S. income tax advisor if you have additional questions.
