When should I expect my 1099-NEC?
Please be on the lookout for an email from Track1099 starting late January 2026. This email will contain a link with your electronic 1099. You must download your electronic 1099 by February 2026.
If you fail to retrieve your electronic 1099-NEC by February 2026, you will be mailed a copy to the address listed in your WorkWhile account.
What is a 1099 form? And why am I getting one?
A 1099-NEC (Non-Employee Compensation) form is a tax form you receive as an independent contractor from a client who pays you at least $600 per tax year.
Anyone who has earned $600 or more on the WorkWhile platform in 2025 will receive 1099 from sender Track1099 in your email. If you earned less than $600, WorkWhile will not send you a 1099. If you are required to file a tax return, you must report all income, even if you don't receive a 1099.
How do I know how much I earned in 2025?
To see how much you earned with WorkWhile in 2025, go to the "Me" tab in the app. Click on "Pay History" to see your earnings summary.
When should I expect my copy of the 1099-NEC?

You must download the electronic document by February 2026.
Make sure your email is up-to-date in the WorkWhile app, otherwise, you will not be able to receive your electronic 1099-NEC.
