This page is general information, not tax advice. Talk to a tax professional about your own situation.

1. When we ask for a Form W-9

When the cards you sell back to us (including automatic and store-credit sell-backs), or the cash you take out, add up to more than $600 in a calendar year, we need a Form W-9 from you. Request the form in the app and we send it to you to complete.

Until the form is on file, cash-outs are paused. Selling back for store credit is never paused.

2. Forms we issue

We issue tax forms where the law requires, for example a Form 1099, using the details on your Form W-9. We keep only a record that your form is on file, not your taxpayer number.

3. Is it taxable?

Possibly. Selling a card back for more than you paid may count as taxable income; selling for less is generally a loss. You are responsible for any taxes you owe.
