Where can a member find their W-2 form or 1099 form for tax purposes?
W-2s are used to report to the IRS that portion of the living allowance or stipend that is taxable. It is not used for reporting on the amount of the education award used. AmeriCorps State and National members receive their W-2 from the program where they served. AmeriCorps VISTA and AmeriCorps NCCC members receive their W-2 from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Form 1099 MISC is used to report to the IRS any education award payment made in excess of $600.00 on behalf of an individual during the year. Duplicate W-2 and 1099 forms are available within My AmeriCorps. For corrected forms, members should contact the National Service Hotline at 1-800-942-2677.
