📋 Eligibility Criteria
To receive a 1099 from Rise, you must meet all of the following requirements:
US Residency: Your Rise account must be registered with a United States address and a valid US Tax ID (SSN or ITIN).
Individual/Sole Proprietor Status: We only issue 1099s to Individual accounts. We do not issue 1099s to Payees registered as Business accounts (e.g., Corporations or LLCs taxed as C or S corps).
Earnings Threshold: You must have received more than $600 in total payments through the Rise platform within the calendar year.
🔍 Common Reasons You Might Not Receive a 1099
If you are searching for your tax form but cannot find it, it is likely due to one of the following:
International Status: If you are a contractor residing outside of the US, you do not receive a 1099. You may instead be responsible for your local tax filings based on your country’s regulations.
Earnings Below $600: If your total earnings on Rise for the year were $599.99 or less, a 1099 is not legally required.
Business Accounts: If you have onboarded your Rise account as a Business/Entity, the IRS generally does not require a 1099-NEC to be issued.
Outside Payments: Rise only reports payments processed through our platform. Any payments received outside of Rise will not be included in our calculations.
⚠️ Important Note
Rise provides these forms as a service based on the data provided in your profile. However, we do not provide professional tax or legal advice. We recommend consulting with a tax professional to understand your specific filing obligations.
Trouble Accessing Your Form?
One of the most common issues occurs when a user has updated their Tax ID but tries to use the new digits to open a form generated with old data.
The Mismatch Rule: If you registered with one Tax ID but have since obtained a new one, the PDF password remains the last 4 digits of the ID used at the time the form was generated. If those digits do not work, please try the digits from your previous Tax ID.
Requesting a Tax ID Update: If your Tax ID has legally changed and you need to update your Rise profile for future filings, please contact our Support Team at hello@riseworks.io
Verification Required: To update a Tax ID, we cannot simply take a text request. You must provide a valid, legal tax document (such as an SSN card or IRS letter) to verify the change. Our team will review the document before updating your profile to ensure compliance.
