# US tax reporting for Connect platforms

Learn how to report the annual payments for your US-based connected accounts.

Stripe [Connect](https://stripe.com/connect) allows platforms to provide a seamless, end-to-end payment service for their connected accounts. This service may come with certain responsibilities, including tax information reporting.

If you work for a platform that pays you via Stripe and want to learn about your 1099 forms and how to get them, see [1099 tax forms](https://support.stripe.com/express/topics/1099-tax-forms) on the Stripe Support site.

Stripe issues 1099-K forms for your connected accounts that have transactions where [`controller.fees.payer`](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object.md#account_object-controller-fees-payer) = `account` or `application_unified_accounts_beta`.

For transactions where `controller.fees.payer` = `application`, if your connected accounts pay the processing fees for those transactions to Stripe, they could be included in a Stripe-issued 1099.

For any other account setups that have transactions, Stripe won’t issue a 1099-K to your connected accounts (for example, when `controller.fees.payer` = `application_custom` or `application_express` or `application` where you pay the processing fees). Instead, consider issuing a [Form 1099](https://support.stripe.com/questions/1099-tax-reporting-and-filing-for-platforms-and-marketplaces) to report income and payment transactions. There are several types of 1099 forms, and the applicable form depends on the type of payments you make to your connected account.

Stripe recommends that you consult a tax advisor to determine your tax filing and reporting requirements.
