How do I get my 1099 from Instacart?

All Instacart Shoppers who earned $600 or more within a calendar year will receive a 1099-NEC via Instacart's partnership with Stripe. The 1099-NEC (short for “Non-Employee Compensation") is used to report direct payment of $600 or more from a company for your services.

If you don’t meet this requirement, then you’ll need to use another method for retrieving your yearly income information such as bank statements, account summaries, or other company communications indicating payments.

• If you do not receive a 1099, you still must report your income when filing taxes!
• Instacart’s platform has an account summary and will let you know what you made in a given year.

If you have any 1099-specific questions, we recommend reaching out to Doordash or Stripe directly.
