Givebutter issues 1099-K forms in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. If you are subject to receiving a 1099-K, you will receive it in February following the close of the previous fiscal tax year from Stripe, our payout partner.
​
For the 2025 tax year, the IRS requires 1099-K forms to be filed if the gross amount of total reportable payments exceeds $5,000.

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. Tips to Givebutter are not tax-deductible.

You can read more about 1099-K forms on the IRS website. We cannot give specific tax advice and recommend consulting a tax professional regarding current tax regulations.

Some account types have the ability to edit tax form delivery method from within Givebutter. To access these options, go to your Payouts page, and click on the Settings tab. Under the section called 1099 tax form details, find Tax form delivery method and click Edit on the right side of the page.

In the pop-up window, you can edit your tax form delivery method. By default, tax forms are sent by mail to the address on your 1099, but you can opt into paperless forms, which are accessible via Givebutter.

If your 1099-K was issued for an individual, but your organization is a business or nonprofit with an EIN, you must request an account type change from our support team. After your account type is updated, we can issue an updated 1099.

You can access your historical tax documents for the previous tax year (and older) under the Tax documents tab on your Payouts page.

For donors: If you need a receipt or end-of-year giving statement for tax purposes, please contact the organization you donated to.
