1. Do I need to enable the sales tax feature?

We recommend you consult with a tax professional to determine whether sales tax is required for your business.

2. Where is my 1099?

Stripe automatically sends out 1099 forms when a Creator sells $20k or more across 200 transactions.

• This also means that Stan does not report income for any Creators below this threshold!
• That being said, for any Creators below this threshold, although we cannot send an official 1099, we can send a draft copy that you can use for your own records or to help with conversations with a tax professional.

3. Does Stan remit my taxes for me?

No, you would need to work with a tax professional to file and pay your taxes to the appropriate tax governance depending on your region/country.

• At this time Stan does not act as a MOR (Merchant of Record).
• We partner with Stripe to process the payments on behalf of the Creators and, if enabled, collect sales tax.

4. Where can I find record of any sales tax applied to my transactions?

In your Income tab! Here’s how to find it:

1. Head to your Income Tab
2. Click on theDownload CSV button to the top right of your transactions
3. This will include any conversions, exchanges, or taxes listed!
