How to Submit USA Tax Information for TikTok Creativity Program Beta From Any Country (Full Guide)

One of my recent videos, which has gone somewhat viral, was about how to join the TikTok Creativity Program Beta from any country, including those where the program is restricted. With this trend, I'm receiving a lot of questions about submitting tax identification and facing difficulties in withdrawing money from TikTok. In this article, I will address these issues and provide multiple solutions.

What is the TikTok Creativity Program?

TikTok Creativity Program rewards creators for uploading content that is more than one minute long. Some creators earn more than $ 10,000 per month with faceless theme pages on TikTok. However, joining the beta program requires 10,000 followers and 100,000 authentic views in the last 30 days. You also need to be at least 18 years old.

Using VPN and Creating Accounts

For those in restricted countries, I recommend using a VPN only while creating the account. After that, do not use a VPN when uploading content. Additionally, use a separate phone for uploading without any SIM cards, especially one from your country. Avoid buying a USA SIM card and inserting it into your phone.

Solutions for Submitting Tax Identification

Upon successfully creating an account in the United States, TikTok asks for tax identification documents. Here are the steps:

Apply for the TikTok Program: Once accepted, you can add a PayPal account for payments.
Tax Identification Documents: If you're struggling with this, you'll need someone you trust in the USA to provide their information. This person should be willing to share their name, address, state, and US tax identification number. This can be a sensitive task, so finding someone trustworthy is essential.

Alternative: Limited Liability Company (LLC)

If you can’t find someone to help you with tax identification, you can opt to create an LLC. A limited liability company offers limited liability protection and pass-through taxation, making it a feasible option for non-US citizens.

Cost: Creating an LLC can be expensive, ranging from $ 99 to $ 200, depending on the state. Ensure you are making enough money from the program before opting for this.
Resources: I will provide a link to a video by Joy Okuru that explains how to create an LLC as a non-US citizen.

Consequences of Not Submitting Tax Information

If you fail to submit your tax identification or LLC documentation, TikTok will hold your earnings once they reach $ 100. You will not be able to withdraw your money or receive any additional funds.

Further Research

I am continuing to search for a platform that offers a cheaper or even free way to create an LLC. If I find one, I’ll make another video about it.

Final Thoughts

Navigating through the TikTok Creativity Program Beta as a non-US resident can be challenging, especially concerning tax identification. However, with some effort and the right resources, you can join the program and start earning.
