How to Update Your Tax Information

To update your tax information, you’ll need to fill out and complete the following tax sections in your Upwork account:

• Tax residence: Ensure you have a real, permanent tax address on file

• Taxpayer identification: Verify that you are a non-U.S. taxpayer 

To complete both sections, go to Settings and then select Tax Information. From there, you'll see two sections to choose from: Tax residence and Taxpayer identification. Select the pencil icon on the section you'd like to complete first.
