Tax Interview tax id

Hello, 

So I've been prompted to retake the tax interview on the site as my account has completed a three-year time period. However, I'm encountering an issue with tax ID during the process. 

When I select the option indicating that I am a U.S. citizen, a subsequent slide appears prompting me for a U.S. tax number. 


On the other hand, if I choose the option stating that I am a foreign person (that I am), the next slide is empty and does not request any tax ID.


I recall that during my initial tax interview, I was asked for the tax ID in this section. Why isn't it showing up this time?

As the screenshot below shows, when the completed form is presented for submission, the field where the foreign tax number should be is visibly blank or empty. 


 Due to this problem, I am now subjected to a 30% withholding tax, whereas I believe it was previously at 0%. 


Can anyone who has experienced a similar issue provide guidance on how to address this?

Yes i got a same problem i living in India,in the process there is option or fill my country tax number after submit the form now i have 30% tax withholding. i Contact support team give a mail id to communicate there is no response

If i choose the option i am not a US citizen the window only appear i try many time but no changes

I've just encountered the same problem.

You also a indian citizen ? ya i can’t find the solution. you find anything please share us bro

I'm not Indian. I've sent an e-mail, still waiting for a reply.

Who did you send the mail to? can you give the mail id

Itch.io's support has redirected me to the Tax Identity Services and I've sent them an e-mail about this situation. I'll write again when there is any development.

same support team give a mail to contact i write again the details and waiting for the details

Any update on your part ? I'm having the same issue (French citizen)

"Thank you for your ticket, we will have an agent review your inquiry and get back to you shortly. Most tickets are responded to within 2 business days."

It has been more than a week since I received this from the Tax Identity Services. Yesterday I sent them a new e-mail and still waiting for a response.

NO

Any update? I wasn't asked for tax identification number in the tax interview and I don't know why.

more then 2 month old i don’t receive any reply

Awful. Itch may need to step in and help us out with this. This tax interview supporter is unreliable.

yes itch say we did not handle tax filing itch use third party resoures
