Do You Get a W2 From Fiverr?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:02 pm

As a freelancer, you’re probably used to the 1099-MISC form. But what if you’re earning income through a different platform, like Fiverr? In this case, you would receive a W-2.

The W-2 is a form that is issued by an employer to an employee (or contractor), and it reports the employee’s annual wages and taxes. The form is then sent to the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

As a Fiverr user, you are considered an independent contractor. This means that you are not an employee of Fiverr, and therefore you will not receive a W-2 from them.

Instead, you will receive a 1099-MISC form, which is used to report miscellaneous income.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about working with Fiverr, be aware that you will not receive a W2 form from them at the end of the year. This means that you will be responsible for paying your own taxes on the income you earn from Fiverr. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, it is something to be aware of before you start working with them.

The 1099-MISC form is similar to the W-2 in that it is used to report your annual income and taxes. However, there are some key differences between the two forms. For one, the 1099-MISC form is only issued to contractors, whereas the W-2 is issued to both employees and contractors.

Another difference is that the 1099-MISC form is not sent to the SSA or IRS. Instead, it is up to the contractor to report their income and taxes owed. This can be done by filing a self-employment tax return.

In conclusion, as a Fiverr user, you will not receive a W-2 from them since you are considered an independent contractor. You will instead receive a 1099-MISC form, which is used to report miscellaneous income.
