Learn important tax filing information for therapists who contract with Rula during the 2025 calendar year. This article is updated for the 2025 tax year (tax filings occurring in 2026).
Will I receive a 1099-MISC tax form?
-
If you received more than $600 from Rula within the year, you will receive a 1099-MISC tax form.
-
If you made less than $600 this year, you will not get a 1099 form.
What if I made more than $600 but didn't receive a 1099-MISC tax form?
You may not receive a 1099-MISC tax form if:
- Your email address on file is incorrect, missing, or unable to receive email
- Rula did not file a 1099-MISC for you
- Your entity is an excluded federal tax classification (S-Corp, C-Corp, etc.)
When will I receive my 1099-MISC tax form?
If you have completed your tax verification and are eligible, you will receive your 1099-MISC tax form electronically or postmarked by January 31st. Make sure your name, address, and Taxpayer Identification Number are correct in Wingspan.
How will I know when my 1099-MISC tax form is ready?
If your delivery preference selection was electronic (paperless), Wingspan will email you instructions as soon as it's ready to view and download, usually by January 31st following the tax year. For postal (mail), you will receive your tax form via USPS postmarked by January 31st following the tax year.
How will I receive my 1099-MISC tax form?
During setup, you can choose your delivery preference to receive your 1099-MISC tax form electronically (paperless) or via postal (mail).
Wingspan cannot send 1099-MISC PDFs via email. Contractors must access forms through their Wingspan portal or request a mailed copy.
I need to change the mailing address where I receive my 1099-MISC paper copy.
The actions required will be dependent on the status of your 1099 filing:
- You have not confirmed your tax preferences: You can still make edits to your address in your Tax Documents Dashboard.
- Your tax preferences have been confirmed and the 1099 has not been filed: You can contact Wingspan Support to reset your tax preferences.
-
Your 1099 has already been filed, (so it is after January 31st of the tax filing year): You will need to request a correction to your tax form under the Tax Documents Dashboard. There are two types of address changes:
-
-
Address update that includes a state change
- When the state changes and Rula accepts your correction request, the existing federal and state filings will be voided. New 1099s will be filed with both the federal and state entities.
-
Address update that does not include a state change
- The IRS does not require a correction when the address has changed but the state has not changed.
- If the recipient requests this type of address change as a correction, Wingspan will inform you, Rula, and the recipient that a correction is not needed.
- If the recipient requires a mailed copy of their 1099-Misc forms, they can contact you to re-mail the forms to their updated address.

How do I access my 1099-MISC tax forms?
After you sign into your Wingspan account, visit your Tax Documents Dashboard to access your current and previous years' tax forms (if applicable). Forms are typically available by January 31st of each year. Wingspan only has access to 1099s from years when Rula used their platform for 1099-MISC tax filing.
If you need to access previous years that are not available in Wingspan, please contact our Accounts Payable team at accountspayable@rula.com.
How can I see the payments that were included on my 1099?
You can see the payments included on your 1099 and download a CSV of those payments by taking the following steps:
- Log in to Wingspan
- Navigate to your Tax Documents Dashboard, and select View details
- Select the Payments tab to review your payment history
- Next, each payment and the associated invoice will be visible.
- If you'd like to keep a copy for your records, select Download CSV.
What if I don't agree with the amount on my 1099-MISC tax form?
If you disagree with the amount on your 1099-MISC tax form, please do the following:
- Review the payments that were included in your 1099-MISC form.
- Submit a correction request in Wingspan. In the request comments, be sure to include the specific payments that should be included or omitted from your 1099-MISC amount. To submit the correction request, follow Wingspan's guide to requesting 1099-MISC corrections.
What if there's a mistake on my 1099-MISC tax form?
If you discover an error on your 1099-MISC tax form, you can submit a correction request. To understand what can be corrected and how to make corrections, please visit Wingspan's guide to requesting 1099-MISC corrections.
What if I have questions about filing my taxes or what to do with the 1099 that I received?
Please contact your tax preparer for all filing and tax-related questions. Rula is not able to advise on these matters.
Therapists working with Rula can attend free periodic educational webinars on tax & accounting basics. See past recordings here.
