Rewards and Taxes

If you request payments of $600 or more in a calendar year, SurveySpot requires that you complete and submit an IRS Form W-9, a request for Taxpayer Identification Number. The IRS requires that all earnings of $600 or more, per calendar year, are reported on Form 1099-Misc. at year-end, and your taxpayer ID is needed to complete this form.

You can print the form from the IRS website:

W-9 Form

On the printed form, please write your name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number, then sign and date the form. Mail completed Form W-9 to:

Survey Sampling International
Attn: Susan Evans
6 Research Drive
Shelton, CT 06484

Your payment will be released once we receive your completed form.
