______________________

Let's enter your payment profile information!

• Login to your Songtradr account.
• Click Transactions & Licenses in the left navigation menu.

• You will automatically land on Transactions where you can click the Setup Payments & Tax Documents button at the top right.

• A pop-out will appear advising to + Add Payout Method. Click the button to get started.

• Fill out your personal tax information and click Next.

• Select which payout method you prefer for withdrawal:
• Bank Transfer: Requires the routing and account number to proceed. 
• Paypal: Requires Paypal account email address to proceed.

Now that the payout method is added, click the Submit a Tax Form button to continue completing both requirements.

Now, let's enter your tax information. 

• Select if you are a U.S. resident and click Continue.
  • If you’re a U.S. citizen and permanent resident, you’ll need to complete a W-9 tax form. At the end of the financial year, Songtradr will then send you a corresponding 1099 form showing your yearly earnings to file your U.S. tax return.
  • If you live outside the U.S. (and are not a U.S. citizen), you must complete a W-8BEN (or W-8BEN-E if you are an entity). It’s important to correctly complete this form to claim any tax treaty benefits your country may have with the United States. Note: If you complete this form incorrectly, or if your country of origin does not have a tax treaty with the United States, Songtradr is required by law to withhold up to 30% tax on your behalf.

Complete the W-9 or W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E form accurately and carefully. Note: If the information provided is incorrect, it may cause delays and require our Support team to confirm the information to continue with a withdrawal. 

Lastly, choose the tax statement delivery method that best suits your needs and click Continue. 

• E-Delivery (suggested)
• Postal Mail

• Click Done and you’re all set!

Note: If your withdraw button disappears after submitting your tax form, it's possible that there are errors that need correcting. For expedited review, please submit a "Withdrawal & Tax Form" request here.
