Field Agent is required to file a 1099-MISC form for any Agents making at least $600 in a year.
If it looks like you'll hit $600 for the year, you'll automatically receive an email from Tax1099, our IRS-Authorized E-File partner, with a link to fill out and return a W-9 form. We'll need this to file your 1099-MISC.
In order to ensure we have the necessary information on all Agents that reach the $600 mark, we require the W-9 to be filled out at the $550 mark and do not show work until the W9 is filled out and received. We will only file a W-9 when the $600 is hit. If you fill out a W-9 and do not reach $600, we will not submit a W-9 and you won't receive a 1099-MISC.
Do note that the $600 1099 filing limit is based on a calendar year. That limit starts over every year on January 1st. If you are to receive a Form 1099 (earning $600+), you will receive that via email from Tax1099 (support@tax1099.com) on Field Agent's behalf.
Please keep in mind that the IRS requires all earnings and income to be reported each year. The $600 limit is only the requirement for the Payors (companies) at which time they must file a 1099 for their w9 Payees (individuals).
At this time, the only data we store on your past jobs is in your transaction history, which includes the job names and payment amounts. If you need information on your past job locations, distances traveled, etc. for your records, you will need to keep track of this yourself.
If you need to update your W-9 information:
- Submit a ticket and provide any name change or mailing address info that needs to be changed.
- If you need to update the TIN or would otherwise prefer to make edits yourself, please request a new W-9 and we can send a new link for you to edit that form.

I’ve submitted W-9 and app still will not allow me to accept new jobs. I’ve submitted a ticket as well and still no response. I don’t want to submit multiple because it may become confusing.
Any idea on when we can expect to see the 1099's? And will they be delivered electronically or via USPS?
Hi Chris, Field Agent typically sends Form 1099 to all Agents who earned $600+ in the previous calendar year in the first few weeks of January. This year (2022), we sent most of them on January 14th.
If you have questions or want to check on the status of a Form 1099, please feel free to submit a request ticket to our Agent Experience Team.

Hi @Marc and @Sihua,
My apologies for the delayed reply on this thread!! If you're still awaiting a W-9 form link from Tax1099, please submit a ticket via the Help Center in the Field Agent app. Our Agent Experience Team will be happy to assist you in that process to get that resolved. Thanks!
I have submitted a W-9 multiple times and emailed in the help center multiple times. My account has been locked up for over a week. I am not seeing any jobs and it is not even letting me accept ticket jobs. Can someone please help me get this issue resolved.
Hi @logan and @Mecah
It seems these comments did not get on the radar for our team. Our apologies.
If you are unable to see jobs even after submitting the W-9, it's possible there was an issue with the processing. Please submit a ticket via the Help Center in the app and our team will be able to help get that resolved!
