Do I need to pay taxes on the money I earned through Bambino?

While we at Bambino are all about easing your babysitting connections, we're not tax advisors! 

Are You Eligible for a 1099-K Form? 

• For 2023: If your Bambino earnings exceed $20,000, you will receive a 1099-K form! 
• For 2024:  The IRS plans for a threshold of $600 to receive a 1099-K form. Keep an eye on irs.gov  for the most up to date information.

How Will You Receive Your 1099-K Form? 

• Your earnings flow through our partner, Stripe. At year's end, if you've crossed the earnings threshold, Stripe will craft your 1099-K Form, sending a copy your way and another to the IRS. Make sure your details (name, address, and tax identification number) are up to date for a seamless process.

Where Can You View Your Bambino Earnings? 

• Keep a keen eye on your earnings in your app! Navigate to: Bookings > Confirmed > View History.

What If Your Earnings Are Below the Threshold? 

• Even if your earnings are below the IRS threshold, you might still have tax obligations. For a clear tax path, rally with your tax advisor.
