Providing your taxpayer information
Periodically, Stripe will ask you to provide your Social Security Number (SSN) and your current address via the OfferUp app. Stripe is required by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to collect this data for tax reporting purposes. To learn more, see Form 1099-K and tax reporting.
Submitting your data through secure notifications
OfferUp will send you a notification (by email or in the app) any time that Stripe requires your personal information or needs to validate your data. For your safety, only submit the requested information through the secure email or in-app notification; never provide it by text or over the phone.
