Why did I receive more than one 1099?

Raptive issues one 1099 per tax ID, not per site.

If you received more than one 1099, it’s usually because payments were made under more than one tax ID or eligibility status during the year. This is common and often expected.

Below are the most common reasons this happens.

You updated your tax ID during the year

If you submitted a new W-9 with a different tax ID (for example, switching from an SSN to an EIN), you may receive separate 1099s:

  • One 1099 for payments made before the new tax form was submitted

  • Another 1099 for payments made after the new tax form was submitted

Example: If you formed an LLC and submitted a new W-9 on May 1, you may receive:

  • One 1099 for January–April payments, and

  • A second 1099 for May–December payments

You have multiple sites with different tax forms

If you manage more than one site and each site uses a different tax ID, you’ll receive separate 1099s for each tax ID.

If multiple sites use the same tax ID, payments are combined on a single 1099 for that tax ID.

Your eligibility changed during the year

If your eligibility to receive a 1099 changed mid-year, your forms will reflect only the payments made while you were eligible.

This can happen if you:

  • Changed your business structure (for example, Individual → S-Corp or C-Corp)

  • Switched your payment method to or from PayPal

In these cases:

  • Payments made while eligible may appear on a 1099

  • Payments made while not eligible will not
