# How do I download a W-2 or 1099 tax form for an associate?

## Associates download their own W-2 or 1099 from Paystubs, Tax documents. Partners cannot download them.

Tax forms are the associate's private records, so the associate downloads them.

1. The associate signs in to BOSS.
2. They open **Paystubs**.
3. Under **Tax documents** they download their W-2 or 1099. The forms come from Zeal.

**Good to know**

- As a partner, **Paystubs** on the associate shows your partner pay statement, not the tax form.
- If the associate cannot find the form, email BOSS Support with their name.
- BOSS does not issue your company a 1099 in the app. The **1099 rate** on your Rates tab is a price, not a form.
