If you are a new dasher, tax season can feel confusing and a little intimidating. I remember my first year filing taxes as a DoorDash driver and asking myself the same question a lot of dashers ask every year. Where do I get my 1099 form, and how do I download it?
I have been delivering for DoorDash for years, so let me walk you through this in a simple and stress-free way.
First, What Is the 1099 Form?
As a dasher, you are considered an independent contractor, not an employee. That means DoorDash does not give you a W-2. Instead, you receive a 1099 form. This form shows how much you earned during the year and is what you use when filing your taxes.
For the 2025 tax year, you will receive a 1099 form if you earned more than $600. If you earned less than that, DoorDash is not required to issue one, although you still need to report your income when filing taxes.
When the 1099 Form Becomes Available
Many new dashers panic in early January because they cannot find their tax form yet. That is normal.
The 1099 form for 2025 will be available on January 31, 2026. Once that date hits, you will be able to download it directly from the Dasher app. You do not need to wait for it in the mail, and you do not need to contact support unless there is an issue.
You Can Do This on Your Own
Yes, you can call Dasher support for help, but honestly, you do not need to. The app makes it fairly easy to find your tax documents once you know where to look.
Here is the step-by-step process.
How to Download Your 1099 in the Dasher App
- Open your Dasher app.
- Go to the Earnings tab.
- Tap View Payout Details.
- Next, tap Tax Documents.
- Choose the year 2025.
- Once you do that, you should see your 1099 form listed there.
From there, you can download the document directly to your phone. You can also send it to your email if you want to print it.
What to Do If You Do Not See Your 1099
If it is already past January 31, 2026 and you do not see your 1099 form in the app, double-check that you earned more than $600 in 2025. If you did and the form is still missing, that is when you should contact Dasher support.
They can help confirm your earnings and guide you on what to do next.
Final Advice for New Dashers
Do not wait until the last minute to check your tax documents. As soon as the form becomes available, download it and save a copy. Taxes are already stressful enough, and having your 1099 ready early makes things much easier.
Filing taxes is just part of being a dasher, and once you go through it once, it becomes routine. Take it one step at a time, and you will be just fine.

She was right.I see a white square in my dasher app behind that I can see the ten ninety nine I have tried and tried to download it.And when I download it, it just says there’s an error. Is there any way else I can get my ten ninety nine. I called support four days ago and nothing has been done. They told me they can’t do anything they have to.Escalate it.
You can try to uninstall and reinstall the app. Maybe it’s just an app issue or you need to update it to the latest version. If all didn’t work, based on my experience, usually support will escalate it. If nothing is working, escalations can send the 1099 to your email.
I need to know how to receive my 1099 form if my program has been deactivated? Please
Oh. You need to call support. They can send the 1099 to your email since account is deactivated and you have no access to it.
