Does UpWork issue 1099?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:20 pm

UpWork is a online platform that connects workers with employers. The company has an EIN number of 29-5694761 and is based in San Francisco.

The company states on its website that it does not issue 1099s, which is the tax form used to report income earned from employment. However, this is not always the case.

PRO TIP: Yes, Upwork does issue 1099 forms for US-based contractors who earn more than $600 in a calendar year. If you are a US-based contractor and you earn more than $600 through Upwork in a calendar year, you will receive a 1099 form from Upwork.

In October of 2017, the IRS announced that it would be requiring all companies that use online platforms to automatically issue 1099s to their workers. This is in addition to the current rules that require companies to issue 1099s to workers if the total amount paid to them in any given year is $600 or more.

UpWork has stated that it will comply with the new rules and will automatically issue 1099s to its workers. If an employee does not receive a 1099 from UpWork, they should contact the company to inquire about the status of their tax return.
