Where do I find my 1099 Tax Form for 2015?
Need to file my taxes and I'm unsure where to find my 2015 income reported to the IRS.

Here is the thread with Paypal's response which Diane obtained:
You don't need a 1099 to file taxes on your Rover income, just the total earnings you made in 2015. You can go to your payments page to get the totals.

This is not necessarily true. Sometimes your gigs were overlap two years. So your amount has to match exactly what Rover turns into the IRS. It’s hard to tell if your amounts gonna match theirs.
IIRC, it works like so: If you received your payments through Paypal, and they were above a certain amount (I can't remember the amount, but it seems to me it's fairly high), then you can get your 1099 from Paypal. If your total payments were below Paypal's threshold, they won't provide with the form. You just need to report the income on your taxes.
If you received your payments by check, then Rover should have already emailed the 1099 to you (regardless of the amount you made during the year).

1099s are only issued if $600 or more was paid to the contractor.
