1099 Tax Forms

All Brand Representatives must complete a W-9 tax form (U.S) or W8-BEN (CANADA).

U.S based reps that earn $600 or more within the calendar year, after filling out their W-9 tax form, will receive a 1099 tax form for tax reporting to the U.S government by Jan 31st. Canadian based reps are required to fill out the W8-BEN, which will exempt them from U.S tax withholding. Learn more about our process and policies below.

How the Process Works

To complete the required tax documents, you will need to set up your ThirdChannel profile. After your ThirdChannel profile is complete, a tax form will be sent to you via email from tax1099.com. Based on the address you have enter in your ThirdChannel Profile, this will be a W9 for US residents and W8-BEN for Canadian residents. These emails are sent monthly.

The email you receive may appear like the one shown below: 

NOTE: The above email mentioned may be labeled as coming from ThirdChannel's parent company RS1TC.

If you already are in ThirdChannels system but have not filled out a W-9 (U.S) or W-8BEN (Canada) yet, you can request a tax form sent to you using the button that appears in your profile, as shown below:

Once you have received your tax form, you can fill it out to complete the process. Once completed, if you need to make changes to your tax forms again, please submit a ticket to our support team.

ThirdChannel will dispatch 1099 forms by January 31st, 2026. All U.S -based Brand Reps earning over $600 in 2025 will receive electronic 1099 forms from tax1099.com.

If you haven't received your tax form by January 31st, 2026, check your email's junk/spam folder to ensure you haven't missed any communications.

REMEMBER:  As a ThirdChannel Brand Rep, you are an independent contractor responsible for paying federal, state, and local taxes on the compensation paid to you. At the end of January following the year you worked (e.g., if you worked in 2025, you would receive a 1099 document in January 2026), ThirdChannel will issue a 1099 document for reporting to tax authorities.
