Does UpWork Send You a 1099?

Last updated on September 30, 2022 @ 10:38 am

As a freelancer, you’re probably wondering whether UpWork will send you a 1099 form at the end of the year. The answer is: it depends.

If you’re a US-based freelancer, and you’ve earned more than $600 through UpWork in a given year, then you will receive a 1099 form from UpWork. This form is used to report your freelance earnings to the IRS, and it’s important to keep track of it come tax time.

PRO TIP: If you are an independent contractor working through Upwork, you will not receive a 1099 from them. You are responsible for sending in your own taxes.

If you’re not a US-based freelancer, or if you haven’t earned more than $600 through UpWork in a given year, then you will not receive a 1099 form from UpWork.

So, does UpWork send you a 1099? It depends on your location and earnings.

Conclusion:

UpWork will only send 1099 forms to US-based freelancers who have earned more than $600 in a given year. If you don’t fall into that category, then you won’t receive a 1099 form from UpWork.
