All US payment processors, including Hyperwallet, are required by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide information to the IRS regarding account holders who receive payments for the sale of goods and services above the reporting threshold in a calendar year.

In order for Hyperwallet to satisfy its information reporting obligations under IRS rules and regulations, we require that Hyperwallet account holders (with a U.S. person tax status globally) who approach the applicable thresholds (of $600 USD) set by the IRS verify their U.S. tax status either by completing a Certificate of Foreign Status or providing a US Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

If your total payments from 1stdibs meet or exceed the IRS threshold of $600 USD over the course of the tax year, you are eligible to receive a Form 1099.

If you are unsure about whether or not you meet this requirement, you can view a list of your total payments for a given period by logging in to your Pay Portal and following these steps:

1. Click History
2. Adjust the “To” and “From” dates. Maximum search history is 365 days.
3. Select Load funds as the Transaction Type.
4. Click Search
5. If necessary, to view more payment information on a single page, increase the number of rows displayed on the search results.
6. Calculate your total earnings by adding up the values in the “Credit” column.

In addition to meeting the $600 USD IRS threshold, a Substitute Form W-9 must be submitted and in good standing prior to December 31st of the year a Form 1099 is issued.

If you meet the IRS threshold of $600 USD but your Substitute Form W-9 was submitted after this deadline, contact 1stDibs directly for assistance obtaining your Form 1099.

1. Log in to your Pay Portal
2. Click Resources > Tax Documents
3. Locate your Form 1099 under “Available Year End Tax Forms”.
4. Click Action > Download

NOTE: During tax season, you may experience longer than usual wait times for your tax documents to be displayed. If the tax document you are looking for does not display immediately, wait a few extra minutes or try using a different web browser if the issue persists.

Auto Transfer allows you to set up automatic transfers of the funds from your Pay Portal to your bank account — so that you can set it and forget it!

In order to set up Automated Transfer, you will need to have a bank account linked to your Pay Portal.

To set up Auto Transfer in your Pay Portal:

1. Click on Transfer in your menu

2.Under Actions: select Create Auto Transfer

3. Select Confirm

• If you have at least one bank account saved in your Pay Portal, you will see them listed here. If you do not yet have any saved bank accounts, you can add one by clicking on Add New Transfer Method.

Auto Transfer Advanced Options:

Advanced Auto Transfer options allow you to split transfers between 2 or 3 different bank accounts, as well as configure a minimum transfer amount.

1. Select Transfer in your Menu
2. Under Actions select Create Auto Transfer
3. When in the Auto Transfer page, Select the Advanced tab 
4. Select the account under Transfer Method and set the % field to the right. The total for all chosen Transfer destinations must equal 100%. 

Note: Under Additional Options you can choose the frequency of your Auto Transfer. You can choose either daily or monthly. If you choose monthly, you can select the date on which the first Auto Transfer is to take place.

Tip:

• If you would like your incoming payments to be forwarded to your bank account as quickly as possible, select the daily Auto Transfer frequency.
• Auto currency conversion. If you get paid in a different currency than the currency used by your Transfer destinations, select the currency in which you get paid here. This will ensure that the funds arriving in your Pay Portal are converted and transfer in your local currency. 
• Minimum Auto Transfer amount. For example, you can set your account to only perform a transfer once you have accumulated a minimum of $100 in payments.

 

Please note: All Auto Transfer destinations selected must use the same currency. This means that you may not, for example, set one of your Auto Transfer destinations as a USD bank account and another as a CAD bank account.

A Hyperwallet communication will never:

• Ask payees to click on links that take them to a fake website- A link could look perfectly secure. If you’re on a computer, you can hover the mouse over the link to see the true destination. If unsure, you should not click that link.
• Contain unknown attachments- You should only open an attachment when you're sure it’s legitimate and secure. Some attachments contain viruses that install themselves when opened.
• Convey a false sense of urgency- Phishing emails are often alarmists, warning you to update the account immediately. They're hoping victims fall for their sense of urgency and ignore warning signs that the email is fake. 
• Have Poor Spelling or Grammar- The email uses strange salutations, odd wording, poor grammar or spelling errors.
