Does Ohm Connect send you the form to file your taxes?

I wanted to know if ohm connect sends the form in the mail with how much you earned last year to file your taxes?

Yes. If they paid out more than $600, they are required to send you the 1099-MISC form. If you earned less than $600 you will not receive a form.

Hey all, just want to back up Kate's comment - anyone who cashed out $600+ in 2017 will be receiving a 1099 (you'll know whether you did based on whether you had to fill out a W-9 for us). These will be mailed out shortly to everyone.

And are they going to have them out before the end of the month?

Kate from OhmConnect

All users who have earned more than $600 will get a 1099 before the end of the month.

I still haven't received mine in the mail yet. Have they been sent off yet?

Richard strange

I haven’t seen mine yet either. Is it possible they can be posted as something we can download in our points history or something?

cmenende

Hmm not sure could be though.

Any chance OhmConnect will, in the future, electronically deliver this form by making it available in one's account?

Kate, you gave two conflicting answers... is it $200 or $600?

It's $600 Sorry for the confusion

@dthatcher7 thanks for asking, this is on our to-do list! The system we set up at the beginning of the year was designed for a smaller group of power earners - amazing to see the growth in our community this past year. For next year we're working on an easier (and more environmentally friendly) way to get you your tax docs.

As has been said above, yes, they do send tax forms to file. But yet, unlike the form W-2 which you can't file without your employer, 1099-MISC can be filled by yourself only from a template
