Submit W-9 form

US affiliates earning $600+ need a W-9 on file in UpPromote to receive a 1099-NEC. Confirm residency, add tax info, and upload your form in the Settings tab.

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.

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.

• Submitting a W-9 form ensures that you receive your 1099-NEC form on time so you can report your income correctly when filing taxes.
