What if I am not a US citizen?
If you are not a US citizen and do not reside in the United States, but are subject to IRS tax filing, you will be asked to complete a W-8BEN form instead of a W-9.
Individuals reaching specific thresholds of earnings within the year who have not yet submitted their tax form will be presented with a series of notifications in the community portal when:
Tax form needed: Earnings year to date are between $1,000 to $1,500 USD
Tax form required: Earnings year to date reach $1,500+ USD
Rewards are on hold: Previously earned rewards are held, and no additional rewards can be earned pending completion of a W-8BEN
It is the non-resident community member’s responsibility to abide by the applicable tax authority in their country.
