W-9 Info Details

The IRS now requires that CCBill submit a form 1099-K for any CCBill merchant that has a US-based company, more than $20,000 in gross processing volume, and has more than 200 total transactions for a given tax year. To learn more about this requirement you may view our FAQ about 1099-K implementation in our Knowledge Base.

Because of the new rules, we have added a new screen that enables you to update your tax information in our records. Once the information is entered we submit it to the IRS database to verify that the SSN/EIN matches up with the business name. If the data doesn't exist or doesn't match, you will see the Bad Data Alert at the top of the page until the data is correctly entered or verified.

Steps to update the W-9 information in the CCBill Admin.

To make changes to the data:

  1. Click in the cell under the Select column, then choose the Data Type from the choices in the drop-down menu that appears.
