Tax Form

[98518102]

Will UpWork send me a tax form in the mail or a digital tax document? I made around $800/USD on the platform before shutting down my side hustle and my accountant wants an official tax document. My accountant is looking for a 1099 type form.

Many thanks,

~Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for reaching out to us. If you're a freelancer whom the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) defines as a “U.S. Person” and you earn money working through Upwork, you need to report this income on your tax return even if you do not get any forms from us. However, we will send you a 1099-K if you earn $20,000 or more in payments from your clients on Upwork in the calendar year and have at least 200 transactions.
