MARCH? Well that's BS as some of us are required to have our taxes FILED by March 15th.

Update: Got my husband's. I have yet to receive an email regarding mine. If I use his link and log into my account, I get the empty box.

In truth I'm not sure why I care - my accountant doesn't seem to care if we have the 1099s or not. Must be my being anal with documents showing through.

And yes, it all gets lumped into one amount like Sean said.

Edit: I've figured it out. Apparently my husband is the main person for Tortoise Productions (really? Is that why his title is VP?) and the dollar amount on the 1099 is for his earnings, my earnings and both of our earnings from Pond - or at least the amount is "close" to what I have recorded for last year. Within 5 dollars or so...

 

If the person, who has my 1099 from Dreamstime, happens to see this: Could you, please, send it to me? I file as a S-Corp and that's due March 15th and apparently Dreamstime is not making this happen.

Thanks!

The problem is there's no knowing if anything with your name on it is actually correct. I conversed with the person who received my 1099 (she sleuthed the name) and her address was right, my name was right, the TIN number and dollar amount didn't match either one of us. I'm dropping my S Corp taxes off with my accountant on Monday and hoping for the best even though I don't have a 1099 from Dreamstime.
Adobe sent it correctly.

Dreamstime .... wrong info and now a no show. Here's hoping they get their act together at some point. (Yeah, yeah, I know - I'll receive the 1099 on the 16th of March)

I usually don't mind extra payments - but I don't like how this "Contributor Fund" is being done. That said: Keep an eye on your totals ... their math is little off, at least in my case.

On my husband's account it's just the opposite: .61+1.84+1.64 = $4.09 in my world of math, not $4.10 like in theirs.

I just had two images of Grey Wolves feeding at a White-tail Deer Carcass (uploaded in 2018) removed. Apparently blood and gore - however natural - is offensive now.

And I have no recourse to argue it.

Your loss Dreamstime - the other 2 sites that have them will get the benefits I guess.

Has anyone else had this happen? I've been on Dreamstime for 11 years and dutifully entering descriptive, non-spam titles. I also track sales quite obsessively using said titles to find the images in my database. Every once in a while, on Dreamstime only, I'll not be able to find a image in the database. Eventually I discover the reason is because someone at Dreamstime has changed the title. Usually the change isn't anything dramatic or terrible, but it stills irks me that someone has the authority to change a title without ever telling me it was being done!

An example from today:
Original title: Baby Black Bear (Ursus americanus) Against Grey
Changed title: Baby Black Bear Grey Backgrd

I searched both here and on Dreamstime's forums and found no one else has complained about this, so maybe it's just me. But the above change was made on an image in my husband's account and title changes happen in my own account just as often.

Anyone?

Thanks - Holly
