To receive payment for a paid collaboration, you must fill out an IRS form. The IRS form required will depend on your location of residence.

W-9 Form

The W-9 IRS form should be used for Creators residing in the United States. With this form, your partnering brand or agency will receive your Tax Identification Number – or TIN – for payment.

W-8BEN Form

The W-8BEN IRS form is for Creators residing outside of the United States. With this form, your partnering brand or agency will receive information – like your Foreign Tax Identifying Information – for payment.

Instructions:
