How do I submit a W-9 or W-8 Form, and why do I need to submit it?
Last Updated 2 years ago
ChatChecks.com is required by the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to collect an IRS form W-9 from U.S. affiliates, or an IRS form W-8BEN from affiliates outside the United States. This information is used by ChatChecks for required reporting of affiliate income over $600 to the IRS. We must have this prior to issuing your affiliate payments.
You will find the forms at the links below. Fill out page one of the appropriate form, sign the form, and return to us via email to admin@chatchecks.com. You may also submit your W-9 or W-8 form via this support ticket system.
