A 1099-K form summarizes gross payment transactions for US account holders and is provided to you and the IRS (as well as some US states) if you had greater than 20,000 USD in total gross volume and more than 200 transactions in the previous calendar year, and you're based in the US or are a US taxpayer. | Tax year | Gross volume threshold | Transaction threshold | | -------------- | ----------------------- | ---------------------------- | | 2026 (current) | Greater than 20,000 USD | And 200 or more transactions | | 2025 | Greater than 20,000 USD | And 200 or more transactions | | 2024 | Greater than 5,000 USD | No transaction requirement | ## What is Stripe Express, and how do I access it? [Stripe Express](https://connect.stripe.com/express_login) allows you to update your tax information, download your tax forms, and view your earnings. If you earned 2,000 USD or more through GlossGenius in the previous calendar year, Stripe will send you an email titled **"Get your GlossGenius tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery"** inviting you to create an account and log in to Stripe Express. If you can't find that email, you can request a new invite link. If you still can't locate it, contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) for help updating your email address. If you're a salon owner using GlossGenius to pay contractors or booth renters, each professional should receive their own invite to set up a Stripe Express account. Contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) if a team member hasn't received their invite. ## I earned enough for a 1099 but haven't received an email from Stripe If you met the threshold, you should have received an email from Stripe by mid-January. If you can't find it, check the following: - **Check your spam folder.** Search for an email titled **"Get your GlossGenius tax forms faster by enabling e-delivery"**. - **Check your other email addresses.** GlossGenius may have a different email address on file. Try any other addresses you may have used to sign up for GlossGenius. - **Your email address may be incorrect or missing.** Contact GlossGenius to update it. If you don't receive an email from Stripe by mid-January, a paper copy of your 1099 is mailed to you automatically. Make sure GlossGenius has your current postal address on file. ## When will I receive my 1099? **Your 1099 will only appear in Stripe Express once GlossGenius has filed it with the IRS.** If you believe you're eligible and your form isn't visible, contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) to confirm the filing status. If you opted in to e-delivery, your 1099 should be available by January 31. Allow up to 10 business days for paper delivery. | Date | What happens | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Starting in November | Stripe emails you instructions to set up your Stripe Express account and opt in to e-delivery | | Before mid-January | Confirm your tax information (name, address, SSN or EIN) is correct in Stripe Express | | By January 31 | Your 1099 is available to download in Stripe Express (if you opted in to e-delivery), or mailed to you (if you didn't). GlossGenius files your 1099 with the IRS and relevant state tax authorities. | | April 15 | IRS deadline to file individual tax returns | ## How do I update my tax information? You can review and update your tax information (name, address, SSN or EIN) directly in [Stripe Express](https://connect.stripe.com/express_login). If you don't have a Stripe Express account yet, open the email from Stripe and click **Get started**. If you can't find that email, you can request a new invite link. Update your information before mid-January. If you don't opt in to e-delivery by mid-January, your 1099 will be mailed automatically to the address on file — make sure it's correct. If you need to switch between SSN and EIN, contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) to update your legal entity information. If you're operating as an individual, sole proprietorship, or single member LLC, the IRS expects to see the individual owner's name and SSN — not a business name and EIN — on your 1099. ## How do I download my 1099? If you opted in to e-delivery, Stripe will email you when your 1099 is available to download in Stripe Express. If you didn't opt in, a paper copy will be mailed to you instead. ## How do I get a corrected 1099? If you need corrections made to a 1099 that has already been filed, edit your details on the Tax Forms page in [Stripe Express](https://connect.stripe.com/express_login). Your edits won't appear on the existing form in your dashboard, but they are shared with GlossGenius. Contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) after making your edits to request a correction. Once GlossGenius files the correction, you'll be notified by email and a new 1099 will appear in your Stripe Express dashboard. It can take up to 72 hours after GlossGenius files the correction for you to be notified. ## I can't access the phone number I signed up with If you've lost or changed your phone number, select **I no longer have access to this phone number** to authenticate via email and update your number. See I lost my phone or changed my number — how do I log in to my account? for more information. ## Issues with account claim security questions Contact [GlossGenius support](https://support.glossgenius.com/en/articles/71-contact-glossgenius-support) to confirm the information they have on file matches what you're providing. ## Why is Stripe requesting my SSN, EIN, or ITIN? Your SSN, EIN, or ITIN is required to file your 1099 tax form with the IRS and relevant state tax authorities. ## Is my tax information secure? Stripe's security tools and best practices ensure your sensitive information is safely stored and encrypted. [Learn more](https://stripe.com/privacy-center/legal) about the safeguards we have in place. Make sure to keep your Stripe Express login credentials secure. ## Why don't my earnings match my 1099?
