Overview

Your business tax identity is the EIN (or SSN) and mailing address that identify your bakery on tax documents. Knead uses it as the “payer” block on 1099-NEC forms, and your Schedule C and 1099 worksheets pull from it too. Set it up once and your tax-time documents are ready to go.

​
Where to Find It

  1. Tap Settings.
  2. Tap Business to open /settings/business.
  3. Find the Tax Identity card.
The card notes: “Used as the payer block on 1099-NEC PDFs. Schedule C and 1099 worksheets pull from here.” The Tax Identity card on the Business settings page with EIN and mailing address fields

​
Filling In Your Tax Identity

Complete these fields:
  • EIN or SSN (used on 1099-NEC)
  • Mailing address line 1
  • Mailing address line 2
  • City
  • State
  • ZIP
Tap Save tax identity. You’ll see “Tax identity saved.” when it’s stored.
Good to know: This is required before you can generate any 1099-NEC. If it’s missing, the Contractors page shows an amber banner asking you to add it first.

​
Tax Identity vs. Tax Settings

The same Business page has a separate Tax Settings card — don’t mix them up: For the sales-tax side, see Tax Settings.
Pro tip: If you operate under a registered business name with an EIN, use the EIN here rather than your personal SSN — it keeps your Social Security number off the forms you hand to contractors.
