I haven't received my 1099 tax form

Your 1099 tax form will be located in the Tax forms tab of Stripe Express. Your platform should have made your 1099 tax form available to you by 31 January, but there may be a number of reasons why you haven't received it yet.

1099 tax form eligibility for Stripe Express

1099-MISC and 1099-NEC forms are generally only issued to individuals or businesses who have met the US$600 income threshold for that year. If you have earned less than US$600 over the course of the calendar year, you might not be eligible to receive a 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC tax form.

1099-K forms are generally only issued to individuals or businesses if your gross amount of total reportable payments exceeds US$20,000 and the total number of such transactions exceeds 200 in a calendar year – and you're based in the US or are a US taxpayer – you should expect to receive a 1099-K, either through paperless delivery or paper post.

Ensure that you've verified your information

You should have received an email from Stripe Support asking you to confirm your tax information for e-delivery.

Tip: If you can't find this email, try searching your email account for "Verify your tax information" and make sure that you're using the same email account that is also used with your platform.

Download your tax forms from Stripe Express

Once you've verified your information, you can log in to your account by visiting connect.stripe.com/app/express, where you'll be prompted for your email address and six-digit phone verification code to log in.

From the Tax forms tab of Stripe Express, you will be able to view and download your 1099 tax forms. If you did not consent to paperless delivery, you will not be able to download your 1099 tax form through the Tax forms tab of Stripe Express. Your 1099 will be posted to the address that your platform has on file. Please contact your platform for assistance with postal deliveries.

Please note that you will not be able to download your 1099 tax form until your platform has made the form available to you. You will be notified via email once the form is available for download. Please contact your platform directly for assistance with this.

Before downloading your 1099 tax form, you will need to enter the last four digits of the TIN that appears on your 1099 tax form. If you are attempting to download your 1099 tax form but are being blocked, it's possible that your platform has updated the TIN on your 1099 tax form since you claimed your Stripe Express account. If you've changed your TIN and/or business type, this would also affect the TIN that appears on your 1099 tax form.

If you've recently requested a business type change or have recently switched from an SSN to an EIN (or vice versa), your platform may have updated your existing 1099 tax form already.

If this applies to you, please attempt to complete the challenge using your *other* TIN. The TIN challenge is looking for the last four digits of the TIN that appears on the 1099 tax form; please make absolutely sure that you enter the correct one.

Request a paper copy of your tax form

If you would like to receive a paper copy of your 1099 tax form, please contact your platform directly. If your 1099 tax form has already been filed with the IRS, it is most likely already on its way via the delivery method that was in place at the time of filing.

If you are changing your delivery preference from paperless delivery to post, please make sure that your address is up to date. Go to the Tax forms tab of Stripe Express and click on the Edit tab to make sure that your address is correct. Please contact your platform's support team in order to confirm postal delivery of your 1099 tax form.

Information on my tax form is incorrect

As your platform is your 1099 tax form filer, they will be able to assist you with correcting, updating volume or splitting your 1099 tax form if necessary. Before requesting a correction from your platform, you can edit your details on the Tax form page in Stripe Express. However, you will notice that the information you edit will not appear on any 1099 tax form that has already been filed with the IRS.
