      🧾 How to Receive Your 1099 Tax Form as a Member of the EngineEars Platform

      If you've earned over $600 in a calendar year as a service provider on the EngineEars platform, you may be eligible to receive a 1099-NEC tax form for U.S. tax reporting purposes.

      📌 Who Receives a 1099-NEC from EngineEars?

      EngineEars issues a 1099-NEC form to U.S.-based service providers who:

      • Are not classified as employees (i.e., freelancers or independent contractors)

      • Have earned $600 or more in total gross payouts on the platform in the previous tax year

      • Have submitted all correct information requested by Stripe to file

      If you are not a U.S. citizen or resident, or have not met the minimum income threshold, you will not receive a 1099 from EngineEars.

      📅 When Are 1099s Sent?

      EngineEars sends 1099-NEC forms by January 31st of the following year, in compliance with IRS regulations.

      For example:
      If you earned $600+ in 2024, your 1099 form will be sent by January 31, 2025.

      📤 How Will I Receive My 1099?

      1099 forms are delivered electronically via Stripe.

      • You’ll receive an email from our payment provider Stripe with a secure link to download your form
