What is a 1099 tax form?
A 1099-NEC form summarizes Dashers' earnings as independent contractors in the US. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you earn $600 or more in 2024. If you're a Dasher, you may need this form to file your taxes. Head to the DoorDash Dasher Help article for more details.
A 1099-K form summarizes your sales activity as a Merchant. It’s provided to you and the IRS, as well as some US states, if you had $5,000 USD in total gross volume in 2024. If you’re a Merchant, you may need this form to file your taxes. Head to the DoorDash Merchant Help article for more details.
What is Stripe Express, and how do I access it?
Stripe Express allows you to update your tax information, download your tax forms, and track your earnings. If you're a Dasher and earned $600 or more in the calendar year through DoorDash in the US, Stripe will send an email with the subject “Get your DoorDash 2024 tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery” inviting you to claim your Stripe Express account and log in to Stripe Express.
If you’re a Merchant that previously opted into paperless delivery via Stripe Express you’ll receive an E-delivery email when your 1099 tax form has been filed by DoorDash. You should expect to be sent an E-delivery notification for your 1099-K if you meet the following criteria in the calendar year:
- You have had $5,000 USD in total gross volume in 2024.
- You own a limited number of restaurants.
- You are based in the US or are a US taxpayer.
- You already have access to Stripe Express and have opted into paperless delivery in prior years.
If you are unable to find that email, head to our Support site where you can request a new link to be sent to your email.
If you still are not able to locate your invite email, reach out to DoorDash Merchant support for help updating your email address or DoorDash Dasher support for assistance.
I no longer have access to the phone number I signed up with. How do I login to my Stripe Express account?
If you’ve lost or updated your phone number, you can select the “I no longer have access to this phone number” option to authenticate via email and change your phone number.
I earned enough to need a 1099 tax form in 2024. Why haven’t I received an email from Stripe?
If you're a Dasher and you've earned enough to need a 1099 tax form in 2024, you should expect to receive an email from Stripe by mid January 2025. Emails will be sent out in phases to Dashers starting in October 2024.
If you can’t find an email from Stripe, it’s possible that:
- The email may be in your spam/junk mail folder. Search your inbox for an email titled “Get your DoorDash 2024 tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery”.
- DoorDash does not have your most current email address on file. Check any other email addresses you may have used to sign up for DoorDash, or reach out to DoorDash to update your email.
- The email address associated with your DoorDash account is incorrect, missing, or unable to receive mail.
- DoorDash has chosen to postal deliver forms to you. If you have not received an email from Stripe or a 1099 tax form in the mail, reach out to DoorDash to get a copy of your tax forms.
If you earned enough to need a 1099 tax form in 2024 and do not receive an email from Stripe by mid January, you will be mailed a paper copy of your 1099 tax form. DoorDash Merchants that were not emailed earlier in the year will be mailed a copy of your 1099 tax form to the mailing address on file. Head to the DoorDash Merchant Help article for more details.
When will I receive my 1099 tax form?
If you’ve agreed to paperless delivery you should receive your 1099 tax form by January 31, 2025 (plus up to 10 business days for mail delivery of a paper form).
Here are a few important dates to keep in mind:
- Starting in October: Stripe will email you instructions on how to claim your Stripe Express account. You’ll need to set up an account and agree to paperless delivery (i.e., agree to receive your 1099 tax form electronically via Stripe Express) to download your 1099 tax form.
- Before end of the year: Confirm your tax information (e.g., name, address, and SSN or EIN) is correct via Stripe Express.
-
By January 31, 2025:
- Your 1099 tax form will be available to download via Stripe Express if you agreed to paperless delivery.
- Your 1099 tax form will be mailed to you, if you don’t receive an email from Stripe or don’t agree to paperless delivery. Allow up to 10 business days for mail delivery.
- DoorDash will file your 1099 tax form with the IRS and relevant state tax authorities.
- Edits in Stripe Express will be locked, you will no longer be able to make changes to your tax details in Stripe Express.
- April 15 2025: IRS deadline to file individual tax returns. You may need your 1099 tax form to file your taxes.
How do I update my tax information?
Open the email from Stripe and click on the Get started button, which will prompt you to set up a Stripe Express account. After you've claimed your account, you’ll be able to review your tax information and make any necessary changes via Stripe Express. Update your information no later than December 30, 2024.
If you don’t agree to paperless delivery by mid January 2025, we’ll automatically mail your 1099 tax form to the address on file, so it’s critical that your information is current, correct, and complete.
You may find that your 1099 tax form reports your SSN and you want to use your EIN (or vice-versa). If that’s the case, you’ll want to reach out to DoorDash to update your legal entity information.
If you’re operating as an individual, Sole Proprietorship, or Single Member LLC, the IRS will expect to see the individual owner’s Name and SSN (as opposed to Business Name and EIN) reported on your 1099 tax form.
Edits in Stripe Express are now locked for all DoorDash Dashers. DoorDash Dashers looking to make edits or corrections to their 1099 tax form should contact DoorDash Support directly for assistance.
