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 $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. ## 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 $600 or more through GlossGenius in the previous calendar year, Stripe will send you an email titled **"Get your GlossGenius 2025 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 2025 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 will be 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?
