Introduction to tax forms

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:
- Tax form W-8BEN reference: for Non-US Individuals
- Tax form W-8BEN-E reference: for Non-US Entities
- Tax form W-9 reference: for US residents (both individuals and corporations)
- Other tax forms reference: additional supported tax forms, including W-8ECI, W-8IMY, W-8EXP, 8233
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 is your responsibility to keep your profile information, including the tax form, up to date.
On the Monetization dashboard, select Finance > Payout Profile > Tax Forms.
Note: Unity might contact you by email after you have completed a tax form to request your consent for providing tax forms 1099-NEC and 1042-S (where applicable) in an electronic format by email. If you don't provide consent, these forms will be sent to the mailing address indicated in your W-8/W-9 tax form.
