Do we get w-2's or 1099's

Hi Michele,

Here is some additional information about taxes from Rover.com's help FAQs: https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/ar...

Rover is not a tax advisor and cannot provide advice about taxes, income reporting, or unemployment.

If you're a U.S. citizen, you need to follow state and federal laws related to reporting income.

As you approach $600 in distributions that Rover has paid to you (redemptions), Rover will require you to complete a Form W-9 for your dog-sitting service. This allows you to submit your taxpayer identification information (i.e. social security number or tax identification number). Even if you fall below the federal guidelines for filing income taxes, Rover is still required to collect a Form W-9 and report any distributions to you through Form 1099.

This request can come at any time during the year depending on your monetary distribution, and will be sent electronically via Docusign. If you would prefer a paper copy, please email 1099@rover.com.

For year-end, you will receive Form 1099 from Rover detailing your distributions for the year. It is vital that we receive the completed W-9 by January 10th so we can have all 1099s postmarked by January 31st.

If you redeem your earnings through PayPal, PayPal will handle your tax documentation. For more information, see the PayPal article, How do I find my 1099 tax statement in my PayPal account?

For more information, see the IRS website about independent contractors and 1099/W9 information.

If you have questions about receiving or submitting a Form W-9, please contact Rover Customer Support. For questions about taxes, income reporting, or your contractor status, please contact your tax advisor.
