Read time 1 minuteLast updated 9 hours ago

To receive earnings payouts from Unity Ads, you need to set up your payout profile, including your applicable tax forms. If you're unsure which tax forms you need to complete, use the Tax Form Questionnaire in your payout profile.
Note
If you use the Tax form questionnaire, the system provides questions that can help you select the tax form that's most appropriate for you. This questionnaire is only for convenience purposes and doesn't represent tax advice.
If you're a US citizen or US resident alien, you must complete Form W-9, even if you permanently reside abroad. The following tax form reference pages further detail the tax forms listed on the Select Your Tax Form page of the Payout Profile setup:

Changes to tax forms

If any of the information in your tax form or your Certificate of No U.S. Activities has changed, sign in to your profile and submit an updated form. It's your responsibility to keep your profile information, including the tax form, up to date. On the Monetization dashboard, go to Payments > Payment info and select the edit pencil icon to open your payout profile details and update your tax forms.
Note
Unity might contact you by email after you complete a tax form to request your consent for providing tax forms 1099-NEC and 1042-S (where applicable) by email. If you don't provide consent, you these forms at the mailing address indicated in your W-8/W-9 tax form.
