What is a 1099 form? A 1099-NEC/1099-MISC form summarizes your earnings as an independent contractor or service provider. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you earned $600 or more in 2024.

The 1099-K form summarizes the sales activity of your account. It will be provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you processed more than $5,000 and had more than 0 transactions in 2024.

Why do I need to verify my information? We want to ensure that information like your name, address, and Taxpayer Identification Number are up to date so that your 1099 tax form is accurate and sent to the right place.

I didn’t receive an email from Stripe—what should I do? Please double check your spam or junk mail folder for an email with the subject line “Get your [Platform_Name] 2024 tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery.” If you haven’t received this email from Stripe, please reach out to [Platform email].

When and where can I expect my 1099 tax form? 1099 tax forms are typically finalized in January. If you meet the income thresholds above, Stripe will send you an email to access your 1099 tax form (or mail a paper form if you prefer).
