We want to ensure you as a brightwheel Guardian and payer are as prepared as possible for tax season with easy access to your statement information. Brightwheel now offers a direct link to your year-end tax statement within your account. 🎉

The statement includes the provider's Employer Identification Number (EIN), if applicable, and all payment activity by all payers for a student in a given tax year.


Access Payer Tax Statement

  1. Log in to brightwheel

  2. Open the Payments page

  3. From the Accounts tab, select a student's name to open their account

  4. Click on Statements under the purple balance tile

  5. Click the Your 2023 payer tax statement link to open a new pop-up window

  6. Download or Export the statement

    1. If downloading, click Open download to view the report

  7. Open the exported or downloaded statement

  8. Use the Total Payments (if one payer) or Paid by tiles (if multiple payers) at the top of the statement to determine total payments made in the previous calendar year

  9. Repeat these steps for additional students/programs as needed

ℹ️ End-of-year tax statements for payers currently adhere to standard U.S. tax requirements and may not fulfill all Canadian requirements. Brightwheel does provide end-of-year tax statements as outlined above that can be printed to modify manually as needed (such as requesting an Admin signature).
