If you are a taxpayer in the United States, you must submit a W-9 before you can receive payments. If you are a taxpayer in any other region besides the United States, you must submit a W-8BEN before you can receive payments. For more information, see "Setting up {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} for your user account" and "Setting up {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} for your organization." {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} will send you the appropriate forms, notify you when they are due, and give you a reasonable amount of time to complete and send in the forms.
If you are a taxpayer in the United States and earn more than $600 in a tax year, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} will send you a 1099 before January 31 of the next calendar year. We do not provide tax forms for international taxpayers.
{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} does not withhold tax from {% data variables.product.prodname_sponsors %} payments. Sponsored developers are responsible for evaluating and paying their own taxes.
