  Hi there!

  Thanks for dropping as a line (and congrats on having a successful year)!

  We stopped issuing Forms 1099-Misc due to a change made by the IRS with regards to how payments are reported by Payment Settlement Entities (“PSE”). Because we currently pay you through PayPal, and PayPal is a PSE, they have picked up the primary tax reporting obligation. For more details, please see our post at https://wordadsgroup.wordpress.com/2015/02/07/update-on-tax-reporting-for-fiscal-year-2014/

  You can view your earnings at Settings → WordAds -> Earnings in your blog’s Dashboard. If you have any specific questions on tax related forms, we encourage you to reach out to PayPal directly.

  I hope this helps! If you have any other concerns, drop me a note. Thanks much!
