# Why did I receive a 1099 tax form? 

## You met the minimum federal or state threshold in earnings and are eligible for a 1099 tax form.
The platform you work with is required to file and provide you with a 1099 tax form, if you meet the eligibility requirements for the calendar year.
The federal thresholds for receiving a 1099 tax form differ per form type:
* **1099-MISC/NEC**: >= $600 USD in the previous calendar year
* **1099-K**: Greater than $20,000 USD in total gross volume and 200 transactions in the previous calendar year.
  * Note - The 1099-K thresholds for different calendar years are as follows:
    * Current and prior to 2024: Greater than $20,000 USD in total gross volume and 200 transactions
    * 2024: Greater than $5,000 USD in total gross volume without a transaction limit
While most states follow federal thresholds, some have different filing requirements. Make sure to check with your platform about your state’s reporting thresholds.
