Why do I have to fill out a W-9 form?

As a citizen of the United States and an independent contractor, if you make $600 or more over the course of the tax year, we are required to report these payments to the IRS on an information return form called 1099-NEC. When doing this we use the name, address, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Tax Identification Number (TIN) from the W-9 form you submit. 

NOTE: All Creators on Clips4Sale are considered self-employed/independent contractors. You are not an employee of Clips4Sale and cannot claim to be on any legal documents.
