About Taxes. Please Help

Hello to Everyone. 
I haven't gotten a job yet, but I am concerned about getting paid.

I have integrated my Payoneer account here and determined the payment intervals.(You can see in the attachment)

But my  schedule and payment method appear to be inactive. Is this a problem or is it active during payment periods?

 

My second problem is as follows;

 

When I enter the Get Paid section, I get this warning at the top:
"In order to withdraw earnings, please complete a W8BEN Foreign Status Certification. If you are a U.S. taxpayer living outside of the United States, please complete a W9 Form."

 

I don't have any tax numbers. I want to work like this for a while. How can I solve this?

Hi Mustafa,

 

The system will activate your eligibility to access funds immediately after you complete the appropriate form. All freelancers who are U.S persons should file a Form W-9 with Upwork (all others should file a Form W-8BEN). If you are not a U.S. taxpayer you only need to provide your legal name and address for the Form W-8BEN.

 

Thanks!
