A W-8 form allows you to self-certify that you are not a US citizen or US resident and do not have a distinct US legal entity for your business. The platforms you work with may need to collect a W-8/W-9 tax form to confirm your tax residency for 1099 reporting purposes. Please see this IRS webpage for more details.

We strongly recommend confirming your choice with your tax or legal advisor before finalizing your decision.

This article is neither legal advice nor tax advice. We recommend that you speak to your tax advisor with any questions or concerns around tax reporting.
