Hi Mark,

 

Welcome aboard! You may want to check out these resources we put together to help freelancers to get to a safe and successful start.

 

Regarding your question, Upwork is required by law to obtain a Form W-9 from all freelancers who are U.S persons. You can find more information about this here

 

Thank you.
