Tax ID Matching

TIN matching can help verify names and numbers.

Address Verification

We can cross-reference IP and physical address data to help confirm residency.

Watchlist Screening

OFAC and global sanctions screening by your program.

Document Expiry

W-8BEN forms expire every 3 years. We track this and can request renewals before payouts are released.

Make audits easier.

Compliance is treated as a workflow gate, not a manual afterthought. Tax documents are stored alongside payouts, and missing or expired forms can hold releases until resolved. Your team gets clearer records and fewer last‑minute scrambles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which tax forms do you collect?+
Supported workflows can include collection of common tax forms (for example W‑9 for US persons and W‑8 variants for non‑US payees). The exact forms and data requirements depend on your program, jurisdiction, and payee type.
What happens if a form expires?+
We track tax document status and can request updated forms before future payouts are released. How reminders, renewals, and payout holds work depends on your workflow configuration and applicable rules.
Do you handle 1099 filing?+
Tax reporting support varies by market and program. In supported workflows, Gruv can help generate 1099 artifacts/exports and keep an audit trail of what was generated and when—confirm exact filing and delivery requirements with your team during evaluation.
Can I start with this feature and add more later?+
Yes. Gruv is modular—you can start with a single workflow and expand to additional modules as your requirements grow.
How do integrations work?+
Integrate via APIs and webhooks, or start with file imports/exports for a fast pilot. Email ingestion can help with lightweight backfills when needed.
What affects coverage, methods, and timelines?+
Coverage, methods, and timelines vary by market and are subject to compliance and policy checks. Confirm your target corridors and payout methods during evaluation.
Is this tax or legal advice?+
No. Tax and compliance features vary by jurisdiction and customer configuration. This content is for informational purposes and is not tax or legal advice.
