Steps to Becoming an Affiliate
-
Step 1: Get an EIN
If your affiliate earnings exceed $600, you need a taxpayer identification number (TIN). This can be your Social Security Number (SSN), but it's recommended to apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS. It’s free and easy to apply on the IRS website. Be sure to enter your identification number in the correct format (e.g., 123-45-6789).
Tip: Make sure the identification number matches the payee name on your donalde.com account. If you report a business with an SSN, you will need to submit an IRS Form W-9. If you use a U.S. address but live abroad, submit IRS Form W-8BEN.
