Let's get one thing clear, when it comes to your Amazon 1099, you're going to be in for a challenge. This form doesn't match any other downloadable report from the same Amazon platform.
Sellers are often worried - Amazon submits the 1099 report submits to the IRS.
Fear not! We've written the following post to take all the guesswork out of your Amazon 1099 numbers. This article will help you:
Understand your IRS Amazon 1099-k Report.
Determine your gross revenues so it squares with the figures on your 1099-k Amazon report
Calculate all the expenses you're charged at Amazon
Figure out any Amazon refund amounts
Gain a clearer understanding of how your biweekly Amazon payments are calculated
Understanding the Amazon 1099-k
The revenue figures you see on your Amazon 1099 report is the total of the following:
Sales of products
Credits for shipping
Promotional rebates
Sales tax collected
To track down these numbers, you simply need to download your account's date range transactions report.
To access the transactions report, follow these steps:
Click Payments on your Reports tab
Select Date Range Reports on your Payments page
Select Generate Report on your Date Range Reports section
Pick Transaction among the options in the drop-down list under Select Report Type
Under Select Reporting Range choose Custom and select a time span of January 1 - December 31 for the applicable year.
Click on the Generate button
Download the resulting report.
After you have a copy of the report, filter it using Type. Make sure to include only Order transactions.
Once you have added the four columns listed earlier, the figures should mirror the 1099-k numbers reported by Amazon.
For the life of me, I am still confused about why Amazon did not make the transactions report and 1099 amounts easier to access.
Amazon 1099-k Figures and Bookkeeping
Amazon reports your 1099 to the IRS, so it is extremely important that your 1099 figures from Amazon match the revenue you report to the IRS.
Additionally, you don't want to end up paying more money than you have to in taxes.
To ensure this does not happen, we highly recommend you need to use some sort of bookkeeping tool. We created taxomate to automatically send all your financial accounting information (including data for 1099) to QuickBooks or Xero.
Whether you go with Xero or Quickbooks Online, the process I'm going to describe below is fairly similar among those two platforms. If you would like to see a detailed comparison of the two accounting software check out our article on the topic.
Amazon 1099 by Example
To get started, create or link your bank account to QuickBooks or Xero. This bank account will represent the accrual account credited when your Amazon store makes a sale. I dubbed this account the "Amazon Payment Account" on my accounting software (feel free to name it however you would like).
It's very important to note that the system that I've described below considers Amazon income to be earned once the customer completes the transaction. This is very important because the alternative way of accounting for this is to calculate income when Amazon actually distributes cash. This way, we're able to get the exact same revenue numbers which Amazon reports to the IRS using the 1099-k form.
All the numbers that you need are going to be listed by the transactions report you downloaded from Amazon earlier.
To get started, create a Sales Receipt or Journal Entry in your accounting software for each settlement period with the customer "Amazon Marketplace Place".
The revenue amounts should total the numbers in your 1099. The income figures you may see include:
Collected sales taxes
Promotional rebates
Credits for gift wrapping
Credits for shipping
Product sales.
Expense figures will not show up on your Amazon 1099-k but will show up in your transaction report. The expenses figures you may see include:
FBA fees
Amazon selling fees
Advertising Fees
Any other fees listed in the transaction report.
The deposit represented by the Sales Receipt or Journal Entry is accounted for in the Amazon Payment account, the accrual account. This allows for easy reconciliation with the bank deposit.
Once you save the receipt or entry, you can then match them over your bank deposits.
This article should have given you enough information to provide you with an idea of how to reconcile your 1099 with Amazon's reports!
Integrating QuickBooks with taxomate is quick and easy. After connecting your accounts, simply map your accounts QuickBooks with income and expenses from your Amazon statement.
After sending a statement to QuickBooks for testing, you can now set up Amazon to auto sync with QuickBooks!
Step 2. Importing from QuickBooks to TurboTax
QuickBooks Online doesn't yet directly integrate with TurboTax Online.
However, worry not!
a. For TurboTax Online
You can easily run reports in QuickBooks Online to capture all the data required to enter into TurboTax, such as Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports.
b. For TurboTax Desktop
TurboTax Desktop (Mac or PC) allows you to import the QuickBooks Online file. Here are the steps to import:
Step 1. Open your return in TurboTax Business.
Step 2. From the File menu in the upper left corner, select Import > From QuickBooks.
Step 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to import.
Step 4. That's It! taxomate really makes Amazon Seller Central and TurboTax integration easy

It's not an easy task to export your Amazon statements to QuickBooks/TurboTax. However, once you get started using taxomate it becomes much easier. Let taxomate do the heavy lifting!
As a new (or expert) Amazon Seller it is always important to understand Amazon UPC codes. Amazon requires all products to have a UPC prior to being listed.
The only requirement Amazon places on these codes is that you purchase a “GS1 UPC code”. However, you can't just create your own UPC Code, you have to buy through a reputable website (see below).
Do you Need Amazon UPC Codes to Sell Products on Amazon?
The reason you need a UPC code to sell on Amazon is that you can enter something into the product ID field when you list a product for sale. Select “UPC” from the drop-down menu of the “Product ID” section. You can’t even list a product to sell on Amazon without an appropriate UPC code.
UPC Codes are also known as “barcodes”.
What to Put In the Amazon Product ID Section
EANs and UPCs are the main Amazon product IDs used in Australia, New Zealand, and many Western and European countries (including USA, UK, Canada)
How to Purchase Cheap Amazon UPC Codes
Buy Amazon UPC codes through a reputable website (see below)
Download the barcodes through an Excel spreadsheet and JPEG images
Create your Amazon Product Listing
Enter the UPC code into the “Product ID Field” to verify its authenticity
Complete your product listing
Where to Buy Amazon UPC Codes
When people look for cheap UPC codes they turn to shady sellers and get them from eBay. It’s most likely that these cheap codes are recycled. Using recycled codes may lead Amazon to believe you sell fraudulent products, which get your account shut down. Let's take a look at some trusted sellers of cheap Amazon UPC codes:
Snap UPC: a trusted UPC code seller for Amazon. They also have codes for other sites including eBay. Sellers can buy individual barcodes for five dollars each, or get bundles for better savings – up to $0.10 per barcode.
Order Barcode Labels is another trusted seller. Amazon sellers can use the website to generate barcodes for their products and purchase them. The prices for labels range between $15 for 250 labels up to $25.50 for 1000 labels. Labels are also available in a variety of materials and sizes, including the option to purchase waterproof labels.
Buyabarcode.com: An online store where you can purchase barcodes at a range of prices from $75 for a single barcode to $995 for 200.
Barcode Mania: One of the most reasonably priced barcode providers around. They have barcodes available for just $4.99 for a single barcode, with prices going up to $140 for 600 codes.
UPC Code for Amazon FAQ
1. How many UPC codes do I need per product?
You only need to list one UPC code for new products on Amazon. For example, one UPC code will cover all “t-shirts”, no matter how many shirts you sell.
2. I’ve never sold products on Amazon before but want to start a private label business. It asks me for a product ID whenever I go to create a new product. Is that where I enter the UPC code?
This is where the UPC code goes. You need a product ID to list a new product on Amazon. Choose UPC from the menu and enter the appropriate UPC code.
3. Will the UPC code be the same for the same products?
The UPC code for the same products will be the same. You can use one UPC code for many matching products. If you have already listed an item, then just change the amount of product you sell.
4. Do I need a UPC code to list a product I’ve already got a listing for on Amazon?
If you will list the same item more than once on Amazon you should be able to piggyback on the current details page instead of having to make a brand-new one. This means you don’t need to purchase a UPC code if you already have the item up for sale. Choose ASIN for the product ID and enter the ASIN number from the existing listing.
5. Do I need to physically put the Amazon UPC code on the products I list?
You can list as many products as needed through a single UPC code. If you are selling 100 hairbrushes, then you only need the one UPC code for the product listing on Amazon. You don’t need to actually put the UPC code on the product either.
Amazon gives each item you list a unique identifier. This code is what you put on the actual products. The UPC code is only there for listing the product.
6. What are some other common terms in the Amazon Product ID section of Amazon listings?
ASIN
The ASIN is the Amazon Standard Identification Number. It is a 10-digit alphanumeric unique catalog number assigned by Amazon that won’t actually be generated until the product is listed.
When creating a new product listing with a UPC code, Amazon assigns the new listing an ASIN identification. This is how the systems at Amazon keep track of which sellers are selling which versions of which items when multiple people list the same products.
GCID (for Advanced Users Only)
When creating a brand on Amazon you will be given a unique identifier for your brand to list products under.
The ID can only be used when adding new products that are part of the approved registered Brand list.
Registering your brand on Amazon allows you to circumvent the entire UPC code stage of listing a product. It allows you to sell products without a UPC code. It’s something to consider once your sales ramp up on the platform.
GTIN
A GTIN is part of another code, such as an EAN or UPC code. These are 14-digit codes used to identify products, services, and items. Think of them as the umbrella that collects the GS1 barcodes we’ll be using, including UPC codes.
Keep things simple by keeping in mind that all product listings require a UPC code. This should be standard practice for you.
So . . .
Remember that you only need a UPC code to make an initial listing on Amazon. You don’t need to physically apply them to each product. You also only require one UPC code for each variation of your product. You don’t need UPC codes if you sell via retail arbitrage. Products you get via arbitrate are shipped with barcodes that you can use to list and sell products.
Don’t forget that you just want to sell your products on Amazon. You don’t want to have to worry about UPC codes and logistics. You don’t need to get much deeper into the discussion on UPC codes. This is only a small part of ranking products on Amazon and running your own Amazon business.
When the calendar switches to a new year, business owners from all over the United States breathe a collective sigh. You can almost hear it. This tells you that it's almost time to deal with terms such as Cost of Goods Sold during tax season.
This is not exactly the most popular time of year for many business owners. It is that time of year when invoices, receipts, and other financial records are gathered together, so these entrepreneurs can see how much they owe the government.
Online businesses are not immune to this. You probably are feeling the same pressure as tax time gets nearer and nearer. When I first started selling on Amazon, I was told “cost of goods sold" is an important term to understand.
What the heck does cost of goods sold mean? This article defines what the term means, how it's calculated, and how to estimate, for tax purposes, your inventory value.
Business tax returns require that you supply COGS (cost of goods sold). This amount reduces your business income. It has the effect of DECREASING the amount of business taxes you have to pay.
It is important that you get this number right so you can reduce your tax liability. WOHOOO!!!
To calculate COGS formula, you have to take into account all the costs involved in producing or buying the products you have sold. Calculating these expenses can get quite messy. This is especially true if you manufacture or sell many different product lines.
What follows is a step by step guide that helps you calculate COGS. This is a manual process.
If you already chose automated tools like the inventory control software we offer at taxomate, you should still read the information below. It gives you a clear understanding of the COGS concept and the numbers you need to calculate it.
Calculating Cost of Goods Sold
This is a step by step sample process which calculates Cost of Goods Sold for just one product.
Step #1: What goes into a COGS calculation?
The COGS equation is as follows:
Starting inventory + Any Additional inventory - Final inventory = COGS
Quick Example:
$20,000 (the year starting cost of inventory) + $10,000 (inventory bought and added to existing stock for the rest of the year) - $20,000 (inventory available at the end of the year) = $10,000 (this is your cost of goods sold)
COGS calculation enables you to deduct the product costs of the inventory you move. It doesn't matter whether you are a retailer or an actual manufacturer.
Understanding Direct and Indirect Costs
COGS has two components - direct and indirect costs.
Direct costs relate to expenses incurred when you purchase or produce your products. Indirect costs are expenses tied to the processes associated with selling your products. This can include equipment, labor, facilities, and storage.
Step #2: Defining your direct costs
At this stage, you have to calculate what your direct costs are. These can include the following:
The cost of completed product inventory
Direct expenses you have to pay due to production-related overhead
The value of the supplies you had to buy to produce your products
Cost of packaging
The raw material costs to manufacture your product
The amount you had to pay to acquire products so you can resell them
Step #3: Defining your indirect costs
You also have to calculate the amount of indirect costs you incurred. These include:
Depreciation value of the equipment you used to package, produce, process or store your product
Equipment administrative costs (these are expenses related to equipment that is not associated with the production processes)
Administrative labor expenses (these are paid to people who supervise the production process)
Costs of storage
General labor costs (these cover the wages of any production employees you may hire. This also includes temporary workers)
Step #4: Calculating your facilities costs
Usually, this step is best handled by a trained tax professional or CPA. Facilities costs are quite tricky and hard for lay people to calculate.
Complicating things is the fact that a certain percentage of expenses related to facilities involved in production is prorated to each unit of product you produce. This can include anything from utility costs, mortgage interest, rent, etc. Best to leave this one to the pros!
Step #5: Determining your initial inventory
This figure is pretty straightforward. This is just your inventory you had from the previous year. This figure covers completed units, products in the process of production, as well as stock available for sale.
Step #6: Adding the cost of inventory purchases
This amount is the cost of any product you added to your inventory (after the starting inventory). This can cover manufacturing costs as well as shipping costs of products manufactured by somebody else.
Step #7: Calculating your ending inventory
Ending inventory costs are calculated by physically counting whatever stock you have on hand. Please understand that if you have any obsolete or damaged stock, this can reduce your year-end inventory costs.
Step #8: Determine your COGS
If you've properly calculated the figures for all the previous steps, you should have all the data required to figure out your COGS. You can choose to do this on your own. But if you want to protect yourself, you should have a professional tax preparer assist you.
Let's Calculate the Value of Your Inventory
The last thing you need to do is to choose the valuation method for your inventory. The IRS allows for the following three methods:
1. Retail Method
This is the retail value of the product you offer minus your markup percentage.
2. Cost Value Method
The amount you spent to acquire the item you're going to sell plus the cost of shipping.
3. Lower of Market or Cost Value Method
The IRS allows you to pick the lower figure between the cost of your inventory on a particular date every year or its market value.
Which inventory valuation method should I choose?
Among the three valuation methods above, the easiest to track is No. 2 (Cost method). Most small businesses prefer this method.
On the other hand, if you deal with products that have costs that are very difficult to figure out, you can use either of these following methods to track your costs: FIFO (first in, first out method) or LIFO (last in, first out method).
Consult with your qualified tax professional to see the pros and cons of each of the methods above. They will help you pick the method that would work best in your situation.
What's important is that once you have selected one of these methods, you have to stick to it. Otherwise, you're going to have to get permission from the IRS to switch out of the particular method you have chosen.
Keep these tips in mind:
COGS deductions only cover items that you have sold. If you bought or produced inventory that has not sold, you could not expense their costs.
Existing tax regulations do not require small businesses (those that make below $1 million in annual sales) to report their inventory.
To get more information on inventory valuation and other issues, take a look at IRS Publication 538.
