Find tax forms for your supervision income

This information applies to U.S. supervisors paid by Motivo as independent contractors through Stripe Express. It is general product guidance, not tax advice.

Who provides the form

Motivo sets up supervisor Stripe Express accounts for U.S. 1099 reporting. When you qualify for a tax form, Stripe makes it available through Stripe Express rather than through a Motivo document page.

Stripe determines whether a form is issued, which form is available, and when it is ready based on current reporting rules, your account information, and your payment activity. Receiving Motivo payout summaries does not guarantee that a tax form will be issued.

Look for a tax form

1. Sign in to your Motivo account.
2. Select Settings > Payment to open Stripe Express.
3. Review your Stripe account details and complete any request to confirm your legal name, address, or taxpayer information.
4. Open the tax documents area in Stripe Express.
5. If a form is available, review its details and download it from Stripe.

The exact Stripe navigation can change because it is hosted outside Motivo. Use the tax document link or notification shown in your Stripe Express account.

Keep records throughout the year

Motivo's automatic payout summaries and monthly summaries can help you reconcile supervision income, but they are not tax forms. They may also differ from bank deposits after refunds or adjustments. Use Stripe Express as the current record of transfers and payouts.

Keep your legal name, address, and taxpayer information current in Stripe. Updating Settings > General in Motivo does not update the Stripe account automatically.

For questions about filing, deductions, classification, or whether a form should be included in a return, consult a qualified tax professional. For a missing or incorrect form, use Stripe's tax-form support options from the Express dashboard because Stripe issues the document.
