How do I deal with my tax issues?
BrandU currently does not handle your personal tax matters on your behalf. Please file your own tax return in accordance with local state laws. In many cases, a U.S.-based creator will fill out a W9 tax form, and creators based outside the U.S. will fill out a W8 tax form.
What if I want to change how I’m being paid after I’ve enrolled?
Visit your Setting tab on BrandU. Here, you are able to update your preferred payment method, as well as any contact you’ve previously submitted.
