Tax Information Submission Threshold

Depending on your location, you may be required to provide certain information for tax purposes. If you are required to submit tax information, we'll enable you to enter your tax information when you reach this threshold.

To learn whether you need to provide tax information, and, if so, submit it:

  1. Sign in to your account at http://www.google.com/adsense.
  2. Visit the My Account tab.
  3. Click the Tax Information link.
  4. If you're required to enter tax information, and you've reached the threshold, you'll see a tax wizard prompting you to enter your information.

Verification Threshold

To verify the accuracy of your account information, we will mail you a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when your earnings reach the verification threshold. You'll then be required to enter this PIN in your account. Learn more about PINs.

Depending on your location, you may also be asked to verify your phone number. As part of this process, our system will call you and provide you with a number that you'll have to enter in your AdSense account. For more information please visit the phone verification guide.

Payment Method Selection Threshold

According to our Terms and Conditions, active accounts need to reach the payment threshold in order to qualify for a payment. Cancelled accounts, however, can be paid out if their unpaid earnings are greater than the cancellation threshold. Since we don't ever issue payments for less than this threshold, we don't allow publishers to select a form of payment until their earnings have reached this amount.

Payment Threshold

You will be paid out when your unpaid earnings reach the payments threshold and when all holds have been removed from your account. Payment thresholds are based on the reporting currency that your AdSense reports are displayed in.

For more information please visit the payments guide.

Cancellation Threshold

If you decide to cancel your account, you'll receive your final payment within approximately 90 days of the end of the month, provided that your account balance is greater than the cancellation threshold.
