U.S. based Affiliate accounts earning over $600 are required to have a taxpayer ID number of some kind linked to their account, at a minimum a social security number.

MES encourages U.S. based Affiliates earning over $600 a year to obtain an IRS issued Employer Identification Number (EIN) to input into your account as a taxpayer ID number. If you do not have one already, you may click here to get yours at the IRS web site. Note that this is a free process. The IRS will either provide your number online, or mail it to you. Once you have obtained your EIN please be sure to update your MES account. This helps to simplify the year-end 1099 reporting requirement.

Note: The taxpayer ID number input to your account must match the payee name on the account. If you are utilizing a business payee name but reporting under an individual social security number, you will need to mail a completed IRS W-9 form to us at the address provided below. Be sure to include a cover sheet that indicates your account username.

Mail all IRS documents to:
My Express Site
401 Hall St. SW Ste 168 Box 25
Grand Rapids, MI 49503

Second note: If you are utilizing a U.S. address but are a beneficial resident of a foreign country, you will instead need to mail a completed IRS W-8ben form to us at the address provided above. Be sure to include a cover sheet that indicates your account username.
