If you make money through Skool and are getting ready for taxes, the biggest thing to understand is where your tax information actually comes from and how it is handled. Skool does not issue 1099 forms. Stripe does. Skool uses Stripe to process all payments. Because of that, Stripe is the platform responsible for tax reporting. If you meet the reporting requirements for your location, Stripe will generate and send your 1099 for the income you earned through Skool. You will not receive a 1099 from Skool support. It comes from Stripe. Whether or not you will receive a 1099, you can still access everything you need inside Skool to stay organized. If you are looking for invoices related to money you earn on Skool, you will find those under payouts. You can go into the community you own, open the group settings, click on payouts, then select any individual payout to view the invoice tied to it. Or you can go to your profile settings, click on Payouts, and see all of your payouts in one place. This includes both your community payouts and your affiliate payouts. If you are looking for invoices related to money you pay on Skool, those are found under Payment History in your profile settings. This includes community memberships, one time purchases, and your monthly subscription payment to run your own community. You can also customize your invoices by adding your business name, address, and tax information. This is available on the settings wheel in Payment History. Once you update that, it applies to your invoices automatically. This helps keep everything consistent when you are organizing your records or sharing them with your accountant. If something is not showing up correctly, you can reach out to Skool support. To make the process go smoothly, be sure to submit the support ticket under the name of the community you need help with. Explain the issue clearly, include a screenshot if you have one, and share the correct information it should reflect. You can submit your request here: https://www.skool.com/support

If you want a community where people stay, connect, and buy… this is where it starts. I really believe in the message of this video, so much so that I made this the first video in every community I own, so every owner, admin, and support role will have this vital information. So before you worry about loads of content in the classrooms or sales tactics, you need this in place first. It’s simple, but most people overlook it. And when they do, their community never really takes off. Watch this first. Use it to shape how you build and lead your community. And if your community is already running, use this as a reset to spark stronger connection and retention starting now. After you watch, tell us in the comments: Are you actively helping others make friends in your community? If so, what’s working? If not, what’s one thing you could try this week? If you want to do me a huge favor, I’d appreciate you liking it on YouTube and sharing it with another community owner or team member you know. It helps spread this message, and more communities need to hear it. 🥳 Bonus points if you tell us your thoughts on Pineapple on Pizza!🍕🍍
