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. #### **Why do you need to submit it?** * 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**](/guide-for-affiliate/affiliate-admin/affiliate-admin-settings/download-1099-nec-forms.md). * Submitting a W-9 form ensures that you receive your [**1099-NEC form**](/guide-for-affiliate/affiliate-admin/affiliate-admin-settings/download-1099-nec-forms.md) on time so you can report your income correctly when filing taxes. *** ## How to submit your W-9 form to your affiliate account ### 1.
