In reply to M R M Nusky. Great question. I'd talk to your parents about getting an FEIN number (Federal Employment Identification Number). It's free to get and allows you to enter that number instead of your Social Security number on sites like Fiverr (which require one or the other for tax purposes).

Hello, sorry if I’m late but on Fiverr, to create a gig it’s asking me to fill out a W-9 which requires my Social Security number. This just isn’t an option as I am a teen and don’t think my parents would be cool with entering my SSN, and to my knowledge I don’t have a taxpayer identification number or an employer identification number. Unless you guys have a solution for this, Fiverr is not a good choice for teens.

Hey James,

I’d run it by your parents, however, most legit sites where you can earn above $600 a year will ask you to complete a W-9.

To protect your social security number, one option is to get an Employee Idenfitifaion Number, which you can do here: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online
