Tax & compliance
Tax compliance that ships with the platform.
W-9 / W-8BEN collection, $600 threshold tracking, 1099-NEC generation, and DAC7 reporting built in. Aflink keeps you compliant as you scale across borders — no spreadsheets, no last-week-of-January panic.
From signup to year-end, automated
We don’t want you reading IRS publications. Aflink collects the right form on day one, tracks thresholds in real time, and files the right paperwork at year-end.
W-9 / W-8BEN at signup
Affiliates complete the right tax form during onboarding — US persons get W-9, non-US persons get W-8BEN — with TIN/SSN validated and stored encrypted.
$600 threshold tracking
Aflink tracks lifetime payouts per affiliate and flags every partner approaching the IRS reporting threshold. No guessing in December.
1099-NEC generation
End-of-year 1099-NEC PDFs are generated for every qualifying US affiliate, mailed and filed electronically with the IRS via our partner integration.
DAC7 for the EU
Built-in DAC7 reporting for EU affiliates. Identity, residency, and earnings reported to the relevant tax authority by the January deadline.
KYC and sanctions screening
Automatic OFAC and EU sanctions screening on every affiliate at signup and continuously after. Block bad actors before they earn a cent.
Encrypted PII storage
Tax IDs, addresses, and bank details are encrypted at rest with envelope encryption, accessible only via auditable internal flows.
One tool, both sides win.
Aflink is built for the brand running the program and the affiliate promoting it. Same data, same controls, same fairness.
