Disclaimer: As an independent contractor, you are responsible for keeping track of your earnings and accurately reporting them in tax filings. Hyer does not provide a breakdown of your total earnings between earnings from customers, bonuses, promotions, etc. If you have any questions about what to report on your taxes, you should consult with a tax professional. Hyer cannot provide you with tax advice, nor can we verify the accuracy of any publicly available tax guidance online.
Keep in mind: Hyer does not withhold taxes. We calculate your earnings based on the date the earnings were deposited. The total is not based on the date you completed the task.
Hyer 1099 Taskers
If you earned $600 or more on the Hyer platform in that calendar year, you'll receive a 1099-NEC from our third-party partner, Stripe.
- Eligible Taskers (who made $600 or more that year) will receive a Stripe invite via email by the end of 2025 to confirm their account information.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 1099-NEC?
- 1099 forms are federal income tax information forms used to report earnings and proceeds other than wages, salaries, and tips (which are reported on the federal W-2 form). The forms are filed with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and, if required, state tax departments.
Will I receive a 1099 form?
- If you earned less than $600 USD over the course of the year, you might not receive a 1099 form, and one won't be generated for you unless you meet a threshold in your state. If your state has a filing threshold lower than $600, you might receive a 1099 form.
- You can check your state's requirements here: View 1099 state requirements.
When will I receive my 1099?
- Your 1099 tax form will be sent to you by January 31, 2026 (note: paper forms delivered by postal delivery might take up to 10 additional business days).
- Stripe will email you instructions on how to set up e-delivery and create a Stripe Express account. If you haven't already, you'll need to complete these steps to access your 1099 tax form electronically.
How do I access my 1099?
There are two ways to access your 1099.
- In the Hyer app, go to your Stripe dashboard (settings > Account Information > Payout History (Stripe Account) > Settings > Tax forms).
- If you receive an error when trying to view your 1099 this way, please try the instructions in Option 2, which is found below.
- Pull up your 1099 directly from the Stripe dashboard by logging in to express.stripe.com. (It may also be helpful to use a computer for this.) You can see your Tax Forms on the home page under the Tax Forms section in the upper left-hand corner.
By January 31, 2026:
- Your 1099 tax form will be available to download through Stripe Express (www.express.stripe.com).
- Your 1099 tax form will be mailed to you if you don’t receive an email from Stripe or don’t consent to e-delivery. Please allow up to 10 business days for postal delivery.
- Hyer will file your 1099 tax form with the IRS and relevant state tax authorities.
- April 15, 2026: IRS deadline to file taxes. You’ll need your 1099 tax form to file your taxes.
- In January, we strongly suggest that you ensure all of your tax filing details and delivery preferences are up to date in Stripe Express. Your name, address, and Taxpayer Identification Number (Social Security Number /Employer Identification Number) are of primary importance.
Why is Stripe requesting personal information like my Social Security Number?
- Your Social Security Number is required to get your 1099 tax form properly filed with the IRS.
- If you have earned enough to qualify for a 1099 tax form, the IRS requires your full details to be verified ahead of 1099 filing.
How will I receive my 1099 tax form?
- After you log in to your Stripe Express account, you will be able to consent to the e-delivery of your 1099 tax forms. If you do not consent to e-delivery, you will not be able to view or download your 1099 tax forms on the Stripe Express Tax Forms page. If you opt for e-delivery, your 1099 tax form will be delivered electronically by the end of January.
