There's no W-9, you are not an Apple employee. You're an independent contractor / company. Normatively the IRS only witholds taxes on employee pay.

- gte910h 16y agoYour comment has nothing to do with the policy's of apple. They keep the 30% of the cost and take the 100% out of revenue.
- drewcrawford 16y agoIt has everything to do with the comment I was replying to. Specifically the part quoted below: > (I’m not sure how the IRS W-9 cut is handled; that’s about 28% in the U.S. It would suck if the IRS keeps that cut until tax time.)
- gte910h 16y agoI have no idea why this comment is here....total accident, think I was shooting at something else.
- DLWormwood 16y agoYou’re thinking of a W-2. The W-9 is what some U.S. companies (like Apple) have to create for bookkeeping purposes, when the government suspects the payment mechanism could be used to evade taxation. Since my company is a sole proprietorship without a payroll department, I wasn’t exempt from the W-9 deduction, so I needed to fill one out when I applied as a developer.
