Do International Zazzle Creators receive a referral earnings tax form as well?

[WHS_Designs]

Would I receive a separate tax form from Zazzle for referral earnings?

Or are referral and royalty earnings lumped together on the 1042-S form that I normally get in March?

[CreativeLeahG]

Nothing separate that I've received.

@CreativeLeahG thanks, Leah! 💐

@WHS_Designs I received 2 a few days ago – 1 for royalties & 1 for referrals.

[CreativeLeahG]

This is odd? Did you complete two different w-8BEN forms?

[WHS_Designs]

@CreativeLeahG I think Marcia is based on the U.S., so that's why she gets two tax slips.

I needed to see if us non-U.S. based Zazzlers got one or two slips like our American counterparts did. It does sound like just 1 for us.

[CreativeLeahG]

Phew!! 

Thank you for clarifying 🙂

I'm so sorry! I need to be able to learn to read 😂 Yes, I'm in the US. Sorry to unnecessarily alarm you guys!!!

Hey @WHS_Designs,

I checked in with the team on this one and they advised:

Referrals are reported on 1042-s forms but the requirements to report these are $600 USD in referrals

Thank you!

I had to consult BARD GOOGLE to understand what the above means for UK Creators, Bard says:

"

In your situation as a UK creator, the sentence "Referrals are reported on 1042-s forms but the requirements to report these are $600 USD in referrals" doesn't directly apply due to different tax regulations and forms. Here's what matters for you:

W-8BEN Form and UK Creators:

• You need to complete a W-8BEN form to declare your UK residency and claim treaty benefits with the US. This reduces the tax withholding rate on your Zazzle earnings from 30% to 0%.
• Regardless of your referral earnings amount, you must submit a W-8BEN form if you earn any income from Zazzle, including royalties and referrals.

Reporting for UK Creators:

• Zazzle won't issue you a 1042-S form as this applies to US tax reporting.
• You are responsible for reporting all your Zazzle income, including referrals, on your UK tax return.
• The amount you earned (regardless of whether it's above $600) doesn't impact your obligation to report it.

Is this correct? Thanks
