Get tax forms from Uber

As a Uber independent contractor, you may receive one or both of the following tax forms:

1099-K form: This form is for drivers who earned over $20,000 in unadjusted earnings from rides and deliveries AND had more than 200 transactions.
1099-NEC form: This form is for drivers who received $2,000 or more from non-rider activities, like referrals and promotions.

Can I opt-in to receive 1099 Tax Forms?

Yes. If your earnings are below the IRS reporting threshold ($20,000 and 200 transactions for 2025), you can still choose to receive 1099 tax forms from Uber.

To do this, update your W-9 form in the Uber Driver app or the web driver portal. This lets Uber issue 1099 forms (such as the 1099-K and 1099-NEC, if applicable) even if you don’t meet the minimum earnings requirement.

Opting in may help you have the documents needed to report your income or claim certain deductions, such as the federal no tax on tips benefit starting in 2025.

Accessing your tax documents

If you qualify for these forms, you can access them in your driver app. To do this:

Go to Account.
Select Tax Info.
Select Tax Forms.

You can also choose to receive physical copies of your tax documents in the mail. If you choose this option, you can expect to receive them shortly after February 1, 2026.

Tax Summary

If you didn’t qualify for a 1099 form, you’ll still receive a Tax Summary. This document provides the details of your annual earnings, which will help you file your taxes.

All tax documents will be available on your driver dashboard by January 31, 2026.
