If you mean claiming Fiverr contractor payments on taxes, the general answer is yes, but it depends on whether you’re the buyer or the freelancer.

If you hired someone on Fiverr for your business

You can usually treat the payment as a business expense if it was ordinary, necessary, and directly related to your business. Keep the Fiverr invoice/receipt and proof of payment.

If you earned money on Fiverr as a freelancer

You generally need to report that income on your tax return, even if you don’t receive a tax form. You may be able to deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses related to earning that income, but the exact treatment can depend on your country and tax situation. Fiverr fees may be deductible in some cases, but whether and how they are deductible depends on your tax rules.

Important note for the US

For U.S. tax reporting, don’t assume a 1099 is required from the buyer. Fiverr’s payment and tax reporting arrangements can be different from a direct client-payment setup, and what forms you get can depend on the payment flow and current IRS rules. Check your records and confirm with a tax professional or the IRS instructions for the current year.

If you meant something else by “claim” (for example, a refund, a payout, or a dispute), tell me and I can narrow it down.
