Amazon US Form W-8 Update

Recently, some sellers operating Amazon’s US site received an email notifying them that the W-8 form for their account is about to expire or has expired. Sellers may wonder, how should I do this? Don’t worry, the editor will sort out the following information for you to help you complete the collection of US tax information.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires Amazon to maintain an updated W-8 form for sellers, individuals or entities who are not U.S. tax residents.

You may have recently seen a reminder on your Account Health dashboard that you need to update your U.S. tax information as soon as possible or risk having your account deactivated. This is because the tax information for this account will expire on December 28, 2023. Once it expires, your Amazon selling account will be temporarily suspended until you complete the tax information update. If you are a non-U.S. tax resident, please update your information immediately to avoid account deactivation and unnecessary business interruption.
