Hello, I live in Turkiye and I do not have a TIN number. What should I do to complete tax information page so I can withdraw my earnings?

[#5]

Hi Andy,

I took a closer look at your Tax Information and confirmed that all forms have been completed. Your payment method will be active and ready for use in three days.

This is great thank you.

Hi team,

I have a problem when I add a withdrawal method, but it shows "Your payment method has been deactivated because the beneficiary name on your payment method does not match the name on your Upwork account."

I also received an email about the payment method added to the Financial Account "Huy Nguyen Lotus" (my incorrect name). But I already requested to change my name in my Upwork profile to Huy Nguyen, it shows correctly on my profile, and in the contact info.

Can you help me check it and let me know, how I can change my name in the Financial Account (Huy Nguyen Lotus to Huy Nguyen)? By the way, the full name in my bank account is "NGUYEN HAI HUY" (in Vietnamese order: surname-middle name-first name), do I need to update the full name in my Upwork account to it, is "Huy Nguyen" ok?

Thank you for your support. Looking forward to your response.

Hi Huy,

Thanks for reaching out. I checked your account and can confirm that the name mismatch has already been resolved. However, your payment method is not yet active as you still need to fill in your tax information on this page.

I have an account in Upwork I haven't worked with that account for a long time, so now I started to work and found a client from Spain and did some work for him after that I found that on my account I have also an agency, I don't remember how it happened, I am thinking it was when I exported my Elance account and connected it to the Odesk,
My problem is to delete my agency and leave only a freelancer account as on my agency account I have some money the system doesn't allow me to remove my agency account, I created 2 tickets and asked support to transfer that money to my freelancer account and remove my agency, but they saying that I can withdraw money from my account and then remove it, then I tried to do that and I connected 3 withdraw methods but no one is active, so I can't understand why.
May I have done something wrong please help me understand

Hi Armen,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've been experiencing trying to withdraw your funds. Upon checking, you have not completed your Tax Information, so your withdrawal methods are inactive. Go to your Tax Information page to complete what's missing, and feel free to check this article to learn more about what information you'll be entering.

My withdrawal methods are said to be inactive because I didn't input my TIN. I live in the Philippines and normally, people only get their TIN when their employer processes it for them. In my case, I'm still a college student and haven't tried working yet, so I don't have a TIN ID. What's my remedy for this?

Upwork keeps telling me that my tax information is not complete, I have filled all my tax information except the form that requires me to input my Tax Identification Number(TIN). I don't have a tax Identification number because the way it works in my country, you need to have some things which I don't have yet... So how can I go about this issue as I can't withdraw funds

[#22]

Hi Edosa,

I took a closer look at your account and confirmed that you still haven't provided your Tax Identification Number. Please be aware that you need to complete all sections on your Tax Information to activate your payment method and withdraw your earnings. 

Your Tax Identification Number is the number that your country uses for collecting your tax information and may have a different name, such as PAN in India, for example. Some countries may use a National ID number.

You may be able to find information about your country’s TIN here. If you have questions about your number, you will need to consult a tax advisor in your country or contact your local tax authority.
