Do I Have to Report Income From UpWork?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 11:41 am

As a freelancer, you’re responsible for paying your own taxes. This means that you must report any and all income you receive from freelancing, including income from UpWork.

The good news is that UpWork makes it easy to track your earnings and provides 1099 forms for U.S. tax purposes. You can find all the information you need to report your UpWork earnings on your 1099-MISC form.

PRO TIP: Income earned through Upwork is considered taxable income and must be reported on your taxes. Failure to do so may result in penalties and interest from the IRS.

If you’re not sure whether or not you need to report your UpWork earnings, we recommend speaking with a tax professional. They can help you determine if you need to file a return and help you with any other questions you have about filing your taxes as a freelancer.

While it may seem like a hassle to report your UpWork earnings, it’s important to remember that paying taxes is part of being a responsible freelancer. By reporting your income and paying your taxes, you’re helping to ensure that the freelancing community continues to grow and thrive.
