Sir,

It is written there:

I confirm that all the services I offer on Fiverr are performed while outside of the U.S?

What does it mean?

I have attached a screenshot here.

Got an email that I need to fill out a w-9 but when I click the link, it’s a blank page. Anyone else have this experience?

Hi Everyone, In the next few day, some of you will see that we (Fiverr) will be asking sellers who are defined as a US Person* to complete a W-9 form regarding their activity on Fiverr. You will recei

So does this mean that fiverr will send out 1099 forms to us at the start of the new year? Or will we see these on the website? We are required to send copies of a 1099 to the IRS with our taxes. Ta

Ok, I have a unique case. I came to the States in the beginning of this year 2020 and had my account on Fiverr by the end of Jan. I haven’t gotten my SSN until end of July so I didn’t have to submit w-9 last tax season. Now what shall I do?

Any help is highly appreciated

Thank you

You should fill out the W-9 as you were living in the US when you began your Fiverr business.

If you are a US person check Yes. Then fill out the very short form. It asks for your name address and social security number and if you will file your taxes as an individual or a corporation.

If a person has USA account but he lives in another country except USA, what should he use either YES or NO?

And what about for the buyers, will they also fill the form?

Yes

And what about for the buyers, will they also fill the form?

The form is for the purpose of paying taxes on a seller’s earnings. Buyers do not earn, so they do not fill out the form.

Do I need to fill it out? I only earn about $70 on Fiverr. I don’t work or have a source of income. I’m still young and being supported. What will happen if I don’t fill it?

Do you have a Social Security number?

Every US citizen must complete the W-9, but if you make less than $20,000, Fiverr will not send a W2 to the tax authorities.

When I was a teenager I had to fill one out.

Also, if you do not complete it your profile will be closed.

I got 7 emails saying my W-9 was good and everything would be unpaused. Nothing is working for me to post the gigs. Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Several posters have had this issue, sometimes it takes a few hours for the verification to happen. This happened to me this weekend. I was on another thread and the person received the verification 4 hours later this afternoon. I know that CS is swamped with requests about this.

I am from the US. I have filled out the W-9 Form correctly and received an email from Fiverr stating

You’re all good for now

Hi quickknastyy,

Thanks for filling out Form W-9! If your Gigs were paused, we’lll reactivate them immediately.

We’ll let you know if you need to take further action after reviewing your information.

Thanks,
The Fiverr Team"

Yet I still cannot publish my gig. The Publish button is greyed out. I’ve contacted support. Has anyone else had this happen? Not a good sign being a new member of this site and experiencing bugs before publishing my first gig.

Same problem here. My publish button is greyed out even after receiving the emails that the W-9 was filled out successfully. Seems like this W-9 form is still kind of new and has some SERIOUS bugs that need to be worked out. You would think that with the platform being so successful it wouldn’t have gone on this long, but here I am… waiting for a ticket from support to be answered lol.

I signed up 2 weeks ago and got the same message on a Saturday, by Monday it was fixed and I was verified. I am sure it is on their radar, if it isn’t fixed already.

It doesn’t look like Fiverr has considered those of us who ARE U.S. Citizens but live in a different nation. Possibly another example of Fiverr making a decision/change before they know and understand all of the facts?

Agreed.

I’m having a problem with that too: if I put in my foreign address, the page tells me “You’re not a US person” and doesn’t allow me access to the W9.

But if I put in my permanent address (in the US), then it won’t match the address on my tax return.

So…I used my US address first, then the foreign address on the form itself. And we’ll see!
