DoorDash partners with Stripe to file 1099 tax forms that summarize your earnings or sales activities. We’ve put together some FAQs to help you learn more about 1099s and how to use Stripe Express to review your tax information and download your tax forms.
If you have already created a Stripe Express account, you can log in to manage your tax information at connect.stripe.com/app/express.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
Reach out to DoorDash support to confirm the information that they have on file against the information you are providing.
Your SSN, EIN, or ITIN is required to file your 1099 tax form with the IRS and relevant state tax authorities.

If you set up a Stripe Express account and agree to paperless delivery, Stripe will email you to let you know when your 1099 tax form is available for download via Stripe Express. If you don’t agree to paperless delivery, Stripe will mail you a paper copy of your 1099 tax form instead.
