Hi all,
I'm a dual US/Australian citizen, resident in Australia and trading as an Australian sole trader. My developer account is registered in Australia.
In App Store Connect under Agreements > Tax Forms, the only US forms offered are W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E (which explicitly are not for US citizens). There's no W-9 in the list, and the (+) button only
adds from the same country-based set.
I've opened a support request asking Apple to enable W-9 and withdraw the W-8BEN over a week ago, but haven't heard back.
Has anyone had Apple enable W-9 on an account registered outside the US? Did they do it in place, or did they require changing the account's registered country/region first?
If the country had to change — what did that break? Bank account, existing agreements, anything on live apps?
Roughly how long did the support request take? This is blocking Paid Apps from going Active for me.
