🧾 Your 1099 Tax Form on Stripe Express — Everything You Need to Know
Tax season doesn't have to be stressful! If you've earned money through WithMe this year, you may need a 1099 form — and the good news is that everything's already set up for you through Stripe Express. 🎉
Here's everything you need to know about accessing, downloading, and understanding your 1099 form.
💳 Where Your Payouts Live
WithMe uses Stripe (specifically Stripe Express for creators) to handle payouts and tax documentation. When you connected your account, Stripe Express was set up automatically, and every payout — along with its tax paperwork — is tracked there.
From your WithMe dashboard, you can see a summary and open Stripe Express via the Payouts page in the left sidebar.
📄 Do You Need a 1099 Form?
Whether you need a 1099 depends on where you're based and how much you earned:
🇺🇸 U.S. creators: If you earned $600 or more in a tax year, you'll receive a 1099 form (typically 1099-K or 1099-NEC, depending on payment type).
🌍 International creators: 1099 forms are U.S. tax documents. Most international creators won't receive one, but you should still report your income according to your local tax rules.
💡 Pro Tip: Even if you don't receive a 1099, keep records of your WithMe earnings! Your Stripe Express dashboard shows every payout — perfect for your accountant.
