Givebutter issues 1099s in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you are subject to receiving a 1099, you will receive it in February following the close of the previous fiscal tax year.
​
In a given fiscal year, anyone who receives at least 200 transactions through Givebutter AND their total amount was $20,000 or greater will receive a 1099 from Stripe, our payout partner.

As a rule of thumb, donations are tax-deductible if the campaign's beneficiary has registered nonprofit (tax-exempt) status with the IRS. Givebutter defines the “beneficiary” as the final recipient of any funds raised.

You can read more about 1099 forms on the IRS website. We're unable to give specific tax advice and always recommend consulting a tax professional regarding current tax regulations.

If your 1099 was issued for an individual, but your organization is a business or nonprofit with an EIN, you will need to request an account type change from Stripe. Once that is completed, you can request an updated 1099 from Givebutter.
​

To change your account type with Stripe, you will need your Stripe account ID, which can be found in your Stripe Express dashboard. Then you can reach out to Stripe Support to ask that your Stripe entity type be changed from Individual to Nonprofit or Business, whichever applies in your situation. Please see the sample email below that you can copy, paste, and send.

If you are a donor and need a receipt or end-of-year giving statement for tax purposes, please reach out to the organization you donated to.
