How To Fill Out ShareASale Non-US Tax Form

ShareASale is one of the best affiliate marketing network, founded in 2000. To make money from popular affiliate networks like ShareASale;  first thing always comes as a primary requirement is to fill out their affiliate tax form. Submitting tax form is the only way for the government to ensure that you’re paying taxes.

However, if you’re new to ShareASale and receiving a message saying-

“Our records indicate that we do not have required International Tax Forms on file for your account – in order to ensure timely payment please click here.”

That means, you can’t receive payments from your affiliates until you fill out their tax form. Though, It’s not as difficult as it seems.

Types of ShareASale Tax Forms:

There are three types of tax forms,fill them according to your citizenship.

  • W-9 Form – If you’re a US citizen.
  • W-8ECI Form – If you’re a Non-US citizen but your income is connected with US.
  • W-9 Form (Non-US Type) – If you’re a Non-US citizen and don’t live or work in United States.

In my case, I was eligible for W-9 (Non-US Type) form, as I live in India and my income is not effectively connected with United States. If you also live in India or other country and your income is not connected with US in any other way then you can fill out Non-US type W-9 form.
