Sawyer partners with Stripe to file 1099 tax forms that summarize your earnings or sales activities. We’ve put together some FAQs to help you learn how to use Stripe Express to review your tax information and download your tax forms.
What is Stripe Express, and how do I access it?
Stripe Express allows you to update your tax information, download your tax forms, and track your earnings. You will receive a 1099 if your business meets the following criteria:
Account is based in the United States (owners do not need to be US citizens) or the non-US account is for a US taxpayer AND
More than $20,000 USD in total gross volume*
Above 200 transactions
* Filing requirements for some states might differ from federal requirements.
