As a freelancer, you’re probably wondering whether or not UpWork will issue 1099s. The answer is yes, UpWork does issue 1099s for certain payments.

Here’s what you need to know about 1099s and how they work with UpWork.

What is a 1099?

A 1099 is a form that is issued by a company to contractors or freelance workers. The form reports the total amount of money that the contractor was paid during the year.

The 1099 is then used by the contractor to file their taxes. The IRS uses the information on the 1099 to make sure that the contractor pays their taxes.

Why does UpWork issue 1099s?

UpWork is required to issue 1099s for any payments that are made through the site. This includes payments for services, hourly work, and milestone-based work.

PRO TIP: If you are an independent contractor working on Upwork, you are not considered an employee of Upwork and will not receive a 1099 from us. You are responsible for determining whether you should receive a 1099 from the client you’re working with.

UpWork will only issue 1099s for payments that were made using US dollars. If you were paid in another currency, you will not receive a 1099 from UpWork.

How do I get my 1099 from UpWork?

If you’re eligible to receive a 1099 from UpWork, you’ll be able to download it from your account on the site. You can find it under the ‘Reports’ section. From there, you can download and print your 1099.

You can also find your 1099 in the ‘My Earnings’ section of your account. Just click on the year that you want to view and then select ‘Download Tax Documents’. Your 1099 will be included in this download.

Conclusion: So, if you’re wondering “Does UpWork issue 1099s?”, the answer is yes – but only for payments made in US dollars, and only for certain types of payments. You can access your 1099 from your account on the site.
