Guide on How to Retrieve Your Upwork Tax Documents

Introduction

As a freelancer on Upwork, dealing with your taxes can be one of the less desirable aspects of self-employment. Nevertheless, it’s necessary. If you are within the United States as a freelancer, any earnings from Upwork over $600 require a 1099 form. Here is how to get your Upwork tax documents.

Step 1: Log Into Your Upwork Account

Begin by logging into your Upwork account. Make sure you use your latest login credentials. Once logged in, you’ll be at your Upwork homepage.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Reports Page

In the navigation menu at the top of your homepage, click on “Reports”. From the dropdown menu, select “Earnings”. This action will take you to your Earnings page that shows all your income from your freelance work on Upwork.

Step 3: Access Tax Information

Now, let’s find your tax information. You’ll find “Tax Information” on the left navigation pane. Click on it to access the section that contains your Upwork tax documents.

Step 4: Download Your 1099 Form

You will now see a list of any 1099 forms available. These are listed by year, so locate the one that you need. Click on the link next to the appropriate year to download your 1099 form.

Important Notes

• 1099 Form Availability: Upwork typically makes the 1099 forms available by late January so anticipate that timeframe.
• Non-US freelancers: Please note that tax documents will not be generated for non-US workers on Upwork. You are responsible for complying with the tax laws in your own country.
