# I changed my legal entity and need to split a prior year 1099 tax form

You'll need to reach out to your platform for assistance with splitting a prior year’s 1099 tax form.
Your platform will be able to help you complete this process. It can't be completed from the Tax Form page of Stripe Express.
Be sure to have Name/Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for both legal entities, and the date the new legal entity formed. This will help your platform complete the 1099 tax form split correction and file it with the IRS.
Make sure that you have any email addresses and other identifiers for your business, so that your platform can easily locate your account.
