I registered and Amazon says that I need to provide tax information to open an account. I have been living in the USA for more than a year but I don’t have a tax number, what will they do for me next?

I don’t have a tax number
You have to give the tax number of the country you live in.

Hello @Seller_QYdE5ro16Xaru,
Thank you for your post. I see our great community of sellers have provided some guidance on account setup and what is to be required. To maintain a trusted store for buyers and sellers, we need to verify the information that you provided during registration. Here you can find information on the global seller identity verification process and the documents that you have to provide to create and verify your selling on Amazon account.
Before submitting relevant documentation to activate your seller account, you must sign in to Seller Central and complete the registration process:
- 1) Update the business information, 2) Seller information, 3) Billing, 4) Store and 5) Verification.
- You will have to confirm your details under Identity and Address Verification and upload the required documents as per the instructions on this page.
- The Verification page will display customized options based on your business type and the country, state, or region in which your business is located or where you reside.
Document requirements
Amazon will need to verify the identity of the legal representative or beneficial owner registering the account.
The person registering the account, also known as primary contact person, will need to provide two documents - an identity document and an additional document.
We require at least two documents in order to verify your identity:
Identity document - A government-issued photo identity document that is used to confirm one’s identity, such as a passport or national ID. This document must match the proof of identity information selected under Identity data.
Additional document
- Business Licenses: We require a document that proves that your business is valid, such as a business license or equivalent business document. This is a government issued statement displaying information on your business.
- Proof of address: We collect a proof of address document, such as bank statement or credit card statement. A bank statement is an official document issued by your bank or other financial institution that summarizes your account activity over a certain period of time - typically one month.
- Additional documents for legal and compliance obligations. Based on your business' physical location or the store(s) in which you operate, we may request additional documents and information about your business.
In order to ensure your documents are not rejected, make sure that they meet the following requirements HERE.
Please let me know if you still have additional questions or concerns.
Cheers,
Micah
