W-9 Form help!

[Kaizahr]

So on the W-9 tax form there is a question that says:
"Check appropriate box for federal tax classification:
-individual/sole proprietor
- C coporation
- Partnership
- Trust/ Estate
-Limited Liability Company
- Other"

I think I should put individual, right? since my youtube channel is my "job" and i'm an
"individual", which makes me sole proprietor....yes?
Lol, sorry if this is a dumb question. I just don't want to mess with the IRS

If you want to live your life dangerously you can always select "other" and say "Full Time Badass", then the IRS will have fun

What about partnership? You don't get 100% of the profits remember? I'm not sure how that works though, I usually pay some person in a suit to do my taxes, and that's me just assuming they're an accountant because they're wearing a suit.

lol, well it looks like I've already hit my first bump in the road. This is the form that networks give you when you first want sign up/apply with them.

Yes select the individual option unless the other options apply to you.

Use individual/sole proprietorship. Partnerships are meant for if your channel is owned by more than one person where you split the revenue. A partnership from a network has nothing to do with partnership on tax forms. The partnership with a network has no meaning at all to the IRS since you're considered an independent contractor when you get paid via a network.

Thank you so much for clearing that up!
