What is a 1099 Form?
A 1099 tax form is used to document non-work-related payments you receive from a business. (For example, prizes or bonuses.)
Does Current send 1099 Forms?
You can expect to receive a tax form from us if the following applies to you: You received a total of $600 or more from Current in bonuses or prizes within the 2024 year. If this applies to you, we’ll mail you a physical 1099-MISC form to the address we have on file. All forms will be mailed out no later than January 31st.
Please note that earnings from your Savings Pod(s) do not qualify as "interest" as defined by the IRS. Instead, they are classified as bonuses and prizes.
Do I have to request a form?
Nope. We’ll send you one if you’re eligible. Just make sure the home address on your account is up to date.
When can I expect to receive my 1099 form?
If eligible, you can expect to receive your 1099 form within the first two weeks of February.
