Why are Taxes Withheld for my Payments

If you opt not to provide your Social Security Number or a Tax Identification Number (TIN) when you fill out a tax form, then you will be subject to a 30% withholding from all payments made to you. To avoid the 30% withholding, please provide your Social Security Number or a TIN.

We understand that there may be concerns about providing your Social Security Number, however we can assure you that all information provided on the tax forms are kept confidential. If you have already filed a W-9 (or W-8BEN for non-U.S. individuals), you can always refile a new tax form within your Live URL. The steps below will guide you through filing a new tax form.

1. Navigate to your Live URL > Payouts. 
2. Click + Complete a Tax Form to submit a new tax form. 

3. Follow the instructions to complete the process. For more information on submitting a tax form, see our help articles:
