How to Get Your DoorDash 1099 From Stripe Express

DoorDash delivers your 1099-NEC through Stripe Express, a secure portal where you sign in, open the Tax Forms tab, and download a PDF copy or switch on postal delivery for a mailed version. Here is how to get your DoorDash 1099 from Stripe Express, when to expect it, and what to do if it does not arrive.

Set Up Your Stripe Express Account First

You cannot see the form until your Stripe Express account exists and is verified. DoorDash sends an invitation link to the email address tied to your Dasher account, and that link walks you through account creation.¹

During setup you provide:

Your Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number, which links your earnings to your federal tax records.
Your full legal name, matching what the IRS has on file.
A current mailing address, used for identity verification and for any paper copy you request.
Email verification, which confirms the address tied to your account.

This information populates the equivalent of a W-9 inside the platform. Getting every field right upfront prevents delays when forms are issued. If you have stopped dashing, keep the account active anyway so you can pull prior-year documents for future filings, audits, or loan applications.

Download the Digital Copy

Once your account is verified and DoorDash has posted your form, retrieving it takes four steps:

Log in to Stripe Express through the email invitation or by visiting the portal directly.
Open the Tax Forms tab on your dashboard.
Select the 1099-NEC entry for the tax year you want.
Click download to save the PDF to your device.

The downloaded PDF is identical to the version DoorDash filed with the IRS. Save it somewhere secure, check that the earnings figure matches your own records, and then print it or upload it directly into tax preparation software.

Request a Mailed Paper Copy

If you want a physical copy sent to your home, turn on postal delivery inside your Stripe Express account settings. Look for the delivery preference or mailing toggle and switch it on. This tells DoorDash to print and mail a hard copy to the address you entered during setup.

Turning on postal delivery does not block the digital copy; you can still download the PDF at any time. The mailed version travels by standard postal service, so it arrives well after the digital form is available. Confirm your mailing address in Stripe Express before the end of the tax year, since the system uses whatever address is on file when the mail run happens.

When Your Form Should Arrive

Federal law requires businesses to file 1099-NEC forms with the IRS and deliver copies to recipients by January 31.² When that date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline shifts to the next business day.³

For the 2025 tax year, January 31, 2026 falls on a Saturday, so the effective deadline moves to Monday, February 2, 2026. DoorDash typically sends an email once your form is available on Stripe Express. If nothing has arrived by early February, check your spam folder and confirm that Stripe Express has your current email address.

Whether You Will Receive a Form At All

Whether DoorDash issues you a 1099-NEC depends on how much you earned. For the 2026 tax year, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act raised the reporting threshold from $600 to $2,000, so DoorDash is required to issue a 1099-NEC only if your total earnings on the platform reached $2,000 or more during the year.³ The threshold will be adjusted annually for inflation starting in 2027.⁴ If you are filing for the 2025 tax year with forms issued in early 2026, the older $600 threshold still applies.

Earning less than the threshold does not remove your obligation to report the income. All self-employment income is taxable whether or not you receive a tax document,⁵ and if your net self-employment earnings from all gig work reached $400 or more, you must file a federal return.⁶ You report delivery earnings on Schedule C even when no 1099-NEC ever shows up in Stripe Express. Keep your own weekly payout records so you can file accurately in that case.

Tip Income Comes Separately in 2026

Beginning with the 2026 tax year, DoorDash is reporting tip income separately from the 1099-NEC due to changes under the No Tax on Tips provisions. Rather than including tips in the 1099-NEC total, DoorDash sends tip information to you in a separate email by January 31.⁷

The earnings figure on your 1099-NEC may therefore be lower than your total DoorDash income for the year. When you file, account for both the 1099-NEC amount and the separate tip figure. Watch for that second email alongside the Stripe Express notification.

If Your 1099 Is Missing or Wrong

Missing Form

If you earned above the threshold but nothing has appeared in Stripe Express by mid-February, contact DoorDash support first. If that does not resolve it, call the IRS at 800-829-1040. Have your name, address, Social Security number, and DoorDash’s contact information ready. The IRS will reach out to DoorDash and request the missing form on your behalf.⁸

Do not wait on a missing form to file. File by the deadline using your best estimate based on your own records. If the form arrives later showing a different amount, file an amended return using Form 1040-X.⁸

Incorrect Earnings Amount

If the earnings number on your 1099-NEC does not match your own records, contact DoorDash support and ask for a correction. Edits inside Stripe Express are locked for Dashers, so only DoorDash can issue a corrected form.¹ When DoorDash issues a corrected 1099-NEC, the new version has the “Corrected” box checked and replaces the original in IRS records.

Once you have the form, save your own copy outside the platform. Stripe Express stores prior-year documents, but keeping a PDF on your own device or in cloud storage means you still have access if you close your DoorDash account.
