1099 Information for US Ambassadors

FAQs for Taxes and 1099 Forms

In compliance with U.S. Treasury regulations, Plexus Worldwide is required to issue Form 1099-MISC and report to the IRS any non-employee (including Ambassadors) earnings that total more than $600 for the year (including commissions, gifts, prizes and awards). Those who earned less than $600 for the year will NOT receive a 1099.

(At this time, Ambassadors located in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia are responsible for tracking their own income and reporting as needed per their local tax requirements.)

Plexus advises that Ambassadors contact a tax professional for any tax related questions they may have.

  • Ambassadors will be sent a 1099 form if they earned over $600 for the year between commissions and any prizes, awards, and trips.
  • 1099 forms are sent to the billing address Plexus currently has on file for an Ambassador's account.
  • 1099 forms will be finalized and mailed by January 31. 
  • Ambassadors will receive an email when their 1099 has been prepared.
  • Once the Ambassador receives the email, electronic access to 1099 forms will also be available at www.viewmyforms.com.
    • Ambassadors MUST wait until they receive this email before going to the above website.  
    • To gain electronic access, an Ambassador will need to register their email address on this site.
    • The email address an Ambassador uses for registering must match the email address linked to their Plexus account. 
    • If an Ambassador registered in a prior year and the email address is the same, there is no need to register again.
