# Choosing a Tax Document

## More information on the tax forms available when setting up a Payment Profile in your Mediavine dashboard

When setting up a payment profile in your Mediavine dashboard, you'll be asked to fill out a tax form.

Our partner Tipalti offers a guided tax form wizard to help you choose the correct form based on country and business structure, which in turn helps Mediavine automatically issue you a [1099 form](https://44320890.hs-sites.com/will-i-get-a-1099?hsLang=en).
