Complete the W9 Tax Form so that Swing can send you a 1099 form at the end of the fiscal year.

Typically, Swing Subs get paid as individuals. You can set this up by checking the "individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC" box on the W-9 form.

Note: If you've created a corporation or other legal entity under which you want to get paid, you can use those boxes.  If you are not getting paid as a business, please leave the "Business Name" section blank.

More information on taxes as a Swing Sub:

Note:  In order to pass TIN validation, the following 2 things should match.

• Page 1: Address: first, middle, and last name
• Page 3: Tax Forms: digital signature and the name you entered (The SAME as the name you used for your bank account.) The name used should be the same name that you use to file your taxes and is associated with the SSN [individual] or EIN [company] you entered on this tax form. 

Digitally sign your W-9 by typing your full name and your email address. Once you reach the following screen, you are ready to get paid by Swing!
