Where is my 1099 tax form?
Your 1099 tax form should be located in the Tax Forms tab of Stripe Express by 31 January. If you can’t see it, there are several reasons why this may be happening.
Above: From the Tax Forms page in Stripe Express, you can view and download your 1099 tax form once you’ve consented to paperless delivery and your platform has delivered the form.
Once your platform has filed your 1099 tax form, you will be notified via email. If you’ve opted into paperless delivery, you’ll be able to view and download your form on the Tax Form page in Stripe Express. Your platform is responsible for determining who should receive a tax form, and when they’ll be filed and delivered.
Above: After your platform delivers your 1099 tax form, you can view and download the form from the Tax Forms page in Stripe Express by clicking on "View Form" or by clicking on the ... icon. In order to view your 1099 tax form, you will be prompted to provide the last 4 digits of the TIN that appears on your 1099 tax form. After inputting the last 4 of your TIN, a new window will open with your 1099 tax form.

If you don’t see a tax form in Stripe Express, there are several reasons why this may be happening:
- Your platform hasn’t filed and delivered your form yet.
- We recommend that platforms file tax forms in the 1099 Tax Reporting dashboard before the end of January. After your platform has filed your 1099 tax form with the tax authorities, you’ll be notified via email that your tax form is available to view and download in Stripe Express. Reach out to your platform if you're unclear about whether or not you'll receive a 1099 tax form.
- Your platform did not use the Express app to deliver your form, or they chose not to file a form for you.
- If you believe you are missing a form, either for current or prior years, reach out to your platform to confirm whether or not you should have received a 1099 tax form for that year.
- You earned less than the threshold for your form type.*
- Your platform determines the final amounts that appear on your form. All transactions may not be reflected on the payouts tab in Stripe Express. Check out the resources linked below to learn more about the recent IRS 1099-K threshold changes and general 1099 eligibility.
