How to Download Uber Tax Documents and 1099 Forms

Official documentation reviewed: October 17, 2026

Uber drivers and delivery people can have more than one year-end tax record: an issued Form 1099, an Uber Tax Summary, or both. The right file depends on what Uber issued for the reporting year and what record you actually need. This guide separates those documents and shows the current U.S. download routes documented by Uber.

How to download Uber tax documents

Uber currently documents two ways to reach U.S. driver tax records: the web Driver Dashboard and the Driver app. Use the account that actually earned the rides or delivery income and verify the reporting year before saving anything.

On the Uber Driver Dashboard

1. Go to drivers.uber.com using your normal saved address or Uber’s official site.
2. Sign in to the driver account that received the earnings.
3. Open the Tax Information tab.
4. Locate the 1099 form or Tax Summary for the reporting year you need.
5. Select Download for the available document.
6. Save the original file in a private folder and reopen it to confirm that it is readable.

In the Uber Driver app

1. Open the Driver app and confirm the correct account is active.
2. Tap Account.
3. Select Tax Info.
4. Open Tax Forms to view available 1099 documents.
5. Save or share the document only through a destination you control.

Uber says qualifying 1099 forms are made available in the Driver Dashboard and Driver app. Its current U.S. guidance for the 2025 reporting year says those forms were available by January 31, 2026. Uber: what tax documents do I get?.

Uber 1099 forms vs. the Uber Tax Summary

An Uber Tax Summary is not simply another name for a 1099. They have different purposes, and a driver can receive a Tax Summary even when Uber does not issue a 1099.

Uber’s current guidance says drivers who do not qualify for a 1099 still receive an Uber Tax Summary. The Tax Summary can include an annual earnings breakdown, business-related expense information and online miles. It can be useful for record review, but it should remain clearly labeled as a different document from an issued 1099. Uber: Tax Summary questions.

Choose the correct reporting year

Use the year printed on the tax document or shown in Uber’s tax area, not the date on which you downloaded the file. A document saved in 2026 can still be a 2025 tax-year record.

Uber also documents a direct Tax Summary route: sign in to the Driver Dashboard, select Tax Summary, and download the summary for the reporting year you need. If you are retrieving an older year, confirm that the year shown inside the downloaded file matches the request before adding it to your records. Uber: accessing your Tax Summary.

A practical filename is Uber-2025-1099-K-original.pdf or Uber-2025-Tax-Summary-original.pdf. Keep complete Social Security numbers, EINs and other sensitive identifiers out of filenames because filenames can appear in sync logs, backups and shared-folder indexes.

If you drive and deliver under different Uber logins or have changed accounts, check the account that actually generated the earnings. Uber notes that earnings associated with separate email addresses can be calculated separately for tax-document purposes.

What if an Uber 1099 is missing?

A missing 1099 does not automatically mean that the account has no taxable income, and it does not prove that Uber made an error. First establish which document you expected, which reporting year you selected and whether Uber actually issued that form for the account.

1. Confirm that you are signed in to the correct driver or delivery account.
2. Check the Tax Information area on the web and Account → Tax Info → Tax Forms in the Driver app.
3. Verify the reporting year.
4. Look for the Uber Tax Summary even if no 1099 is listed.
5. Review Uber’s current eligibility information for that specific tax year rather than relying on an old threshold from a search result or forum post.
6. If a document that should be present is inaccessible, use authenticated Uber Support rather than creating a replacement yourself.

For the 2025 reporting year, Uber’s current documentation describes specific federal thresholds for 1099-K and 1099-NEC issuance and also notes that state rules and backup withholding can affect whether a form is issued. Those figures are year-specific. Do not carry them forward to another tax year without checking current Uber and IRS guidance.

Check the document before filing or sending it

Do not stop at the download button. Open the saved file and verify a small set of fields before relying on it:

• form or record type;
• reporting year;
• recipient name;
• masked taxpayer identifier, where shown;
• payer information;
• whether the document is marked corrected;
• that all pages open and are readable.

If an amount differs from your own spreadsheet or bank deposits, keep the Uber-issued document unchanged and investigate the difference in a separate working file. Gross platform figures, payout totals and bank receipts can differ because they measure different things. Do not edit the PDF simply to force it to match another total.

The Uber Tax Summary can help with that review because it provides a separate annual breakdown. Treat it as supporting evidence, not as permission to overwrite figures on an issued form.

Build a clean Uber tax-record package

A useful year folder does not need dozens of screenshots. Keep the original provider files and enough supporting records to explain what each one represents.

If Uber later provides a corrected tax document, retain the earlier file and the corrected version separately. Add a simple version note rather than overwriting the original. That makes it easier to show which document was available at each point in time.

For other provider tax forms, browse Tax Documents. If you need transaction-level supporting records rather than a tax form, use the Transaction Histories hub. The private record checklist can help you track which files and years you have collected without uploading the documents to Digital Records Desk.
