If the above is not applicable, then you will not receive a Form 1099-K from Patreon
1099-K: If you receive a 1099-K from us, the dollar amount in Box 1 consists of the gross receipts from all funds you received in your creator balance in the corresponding calendar year (excluding Patreon’s platform and payment processing fees).
Patreon cannot provide tax advice so please consult a tax professional. Please be sure to appropriately report all income to the relevant tax authorities. Even if you do not receive a 1099 form you should still check with your local tax authority to make sure you have properly reported your taxable income.
If you have multiple accounts on Patreon that use the same tax TIN (SSN or EIN), you will only receive one combined 1099-K for all your earnings across those pages. To find your 1099-K, you would need to log into each of your Patreon accounts to find the statement. If you see that your 1099-K statement is unavailable, please check your other Patreon accounts that use the same tax TIN. If you still cannot locate it, send us a note.

Some creators may receive a 1099-K from PayPal that includes the payouts they have received from Patreon along with other payments they received on PayPal. Make sure that you do not double report this income, but please consult with a tax professional for specific tax advice.
For more information about your financial metrics, you can review the Earnings CSV.
Note: 1099-K's are sent by our payout providers Stripe and PayPal dependent on your Patreon payouts. If you need an additional copy of the form, you'll need to reach out to the provider (Stripe or PayPal) where you received your monthly payouts for the year.
