Tax FAQs

What tax documents will I receive?

You will receive a 1099-NEC or 1099-INT if you have earnings of $600 or more per year.

Your tax documents will be available in the app by January 31, 2026.

If you don’t consent to electronic delivery, your tax documents will be mailed to you by January 31, 2026. 

Does Walmart report my earnings and/or tips to the IRS?

Yes. Walmart submits the information to the IRS if you have earnings of $600 or more per year.

Does Walmart send me a summary of my mileage?

No, Walmart doesn’t provide drivers with mileage summaries.

Why doesn't the name on my 1099 match the way I entered it to sign up on the Spark Driver platform?

This is an IRS tax filing requirement. The IRS does not accept or process special characters (like é, ‘, -). Your 1099 must match the name in the IRS database, or it could cause problems in the tax filing process.

Examples:

  • Name with character: Renée Smith – IRS won’t accept 
  • Name with no character: Renee Smith – IRS required format
Missing accents on letters or special characters on your 1099 do not require name changes or corrections.

To update your legal name, you can:

  1. Tap More (iOS) or Menu (Android).
  2. Tap Account.
  3. Tap Personal Details.
  4. Tap Name.
  5. Tap Legal Name.
  6. Follow the in-app prompts to update.
Why does my 1099 have my Social Security Number (SSN) instead of my company name and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) (previously filed or new)? 

Walmart is currently issuing 1099’s with SSN.   

Will my earnings be different using my SSN vs. company name and FEIN? 

No. Your 1099 accurately and compliantly reports your income using your SSN that you earned as an individual driver on the Spark Driver app. 

Can I use my company name and FEIN for tax purposes? 

Not at this time.  

How can I have my tax documents mailed to me if I consented to electronic delivery?

  2. Tap Account.
  3. Tap Tax Documents.
