The W-9 Form is an official IRS document used to provide your tax information to businesses that pay you. By filling out this form, you share details like your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Social Security Number (SSN), which are required for tax reporting.
If you are a U.S.-based affiliate and earn $600 or more in commissions during a tax year, the business paying you must report your earnings to the IRS using Form 1099-NEC.
Submitting a valid W-9 form ensures that you receive your 1099-NEC form on time so you can report your income correctly when filing taxes.
Step 1: Navigate to the Settings tab, then click Tax information.
Step 2: In the Tax information section, confirm you're a US citizen.
After confirming your residency, you'll see the instructions for downloading and uploading your W-9 form to your account.
Step 1: Get the W-9 form from your affiliate account.
Step 2: The W-9 form will open in a new tab of your browser. You should edit the form right on the browser tab.
Please do not use the W-9 form from external sources or edit it via third-party tools to avoid invalid formats.
Please fill out all necessary information in the form so our system can use it to generate your 1099-NEC forms if eligible.
Required information in the W-9 form that you need to fill out:
Name of entity/individual or Business name.
Tax classification (individual, sole proprietor, corporation, etc.).
Address (number, street, and apt. or suite no.; City, state, and ZIP code).
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), which means your Social security number or Employer identification number.
Step 3: Once you have completed the form in the browser tab, please save it to your desktop.
Go back to the Tax information section on your account and submit the W-9 form you've just saved.
Important: If you're US-based but do not upload a valid W-9 form, you may not receive your 1099-NEC form and may face tax withholding penalties as required by the IRS. If you need help uploading the form, contact our support team at support@secomapp.com for assistance.
