Let's get you paid.
A few quick steps so we can pay you properly: who to pay, your tax paperwork, and where the money lands. One signature at the end files everything as an executed packet.
What we're paying.
Tell us which payment this setup is for, exactly as agreed with your Arson Theory contact. Our team verifies these details against the approved terms before anything is released.
The payee.
Exactly who the money goes to — you personally, or a company. Use legal names as they appear on tax filings, not your artist name.
Where you're taxed.
Your country of tax residence decides which IRS form applies. Answer honestly — it protects you from being over-withheld.
Contact.
Your phone number matters here: it's the number we call to verify any future change to your payment details. That call protects your money.
Form W-9.
This is the official IRS form, filled from your earlier answers — review every line and fix anything that's off. Your signature on the final step signs it, and the completed form is included in your signed packet.
Part II — Treaty claim — optional, reduces US withholding if your country qualifies
US activity & sourcing
Your bank.
Just the basics here — never your account number. After we verify your packet, you'll get a secure invite from BILL, our payment provider, and you'll enter your banking details directly with them.
Prove it's you.
A government-issued photo ID lets us verify the person we're paying is the person on the agreement. Passport or driver's license.
Prefer to send it separately? Skip this — our team will follow up by a secure channel before release.
Review & sign.
A quick look, then sign. Your signature executes the packet — it files automatically with our records and you get the signed copy by email.

- You consent to electronic payment and to electronic delivery of any Form 1099 or 1042-S.
