What happens if I choose not to complete Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E?

You will not be able to withdraw your earnings from Upwork until you complete the form. Also, if you do not complete the required form, we may be required to withhold up to 30% of your future earnings on Upwork and send them to the IRS. We will not be able to provide refunds on the withheld funds submitted to the IRS, even if the forms are later completed.
