If you received payments from a partnering brand or agency through your Creator Dashboard in the previous year, you should expect to receive your 1099 tax form(s) in January. Unless you specified that you would like to receive your form(s) electronically during your payment onboarding, you will receive your tax document(s) via postal delivery to the address you provided as part of your payment information.
⚠️
Warning: If you earned income from more than one partnering brand or agency through CreatorIQ, please note that you will receive multiple 1099 forms.
FAQs
A 1099 form is an IRS tax form used to report income received outside of traditional employment. For example, payments made to freelancers, independent contractors, or creators who earned more than $600 in a calendar year are reported on a 1099 form.
All 1099 forms will be issued by January 31 in compliance with IRS deadlines.
Creators who are U.S. residents and who received payments in the previous year through CreatorIQ’s payment systems will receive a 1099 form. CreatorIQ powers and manages the Creator Dashboard that you use to access campaign information and provide your payment information. Non-U.S. residents are not issued a 1099 form but should have submitted a W-8BEN form to certify their foreign tax status. Read more about W-8BEN forms here.
