I signed up as an individual for "standard developer program".
But when i go to iTunes Connect to edit "Contact Info", it asks for company contact, like:
Senior Management, Finance, Technical, Legal, Promotions.
I'm not working for a company right now. So what should i fill here? Can i fill my own name in all of fields?
And about "Tax Info". I'm an US citizen and i have the SSN, so i got Form W-9 to fill out.
At step 4 of the form, it gives 2 options:
- Exempt Payee
- Subject to Backup Withholding
Which option should i choose?

Please help. These things are new to me.
Thanks.
I'm not sure what's required as far as what you need to fill in for company information (although my best guess is that if you don't have anyone in those positions you can leave them blank, provided all of the contact info and general ownership info is up to date).
I can help you with your tax question. An Exempt payee is someone who is not subject to backup withholding. A person is subject to backup withholding if they are not in good standing with the IRS (unpaid taxes in prior years, or discrepancy in previous tax filings) and/or if they make a substantial income on investment dividends (such as those earned via stocks and securities), or interest (i.e., a substantial income on your bank account interest rate). Banks and investment companies are required to report all interest and dividend payments made to you. This is also called 1099 income (named for the form banks and stock/investment firms submit to the IRS reporting that income paid to you).
This means that you are an exempt payee if you are in good standing with the IRS and if you don't make a substantial income on investment dividends and/or bank interest. If you owe more than $1,000 in back taxes you are probably subject to some withholding.

I have one each of the Individual and Business agreements, so I was able to check both. They are both the same on the Contacts page. I had filled this out quite some time ago for the individual, and had forgotten about this. Good think you reminded me - I hadn't yet filled this out for the Business agreement!
Yes, it's a bit confusing, isn't it? I get the idea that Apple hasn't fully integrated the notion of Individual or Business into iTunes Connect.
Click on "create a new person" and fill out the info. You can then select the same person via a drop-down, for each role.
Now, I did something a bit different. I created different "persons" (each with the same name and address) for each role. That way, I could specify different email addresses for each one. That way, I can sort any mail I get by email address.
Can anyone help me i have a similar problem due to me being underaged i signed up using my dad's name but i am lost on what to do for the tax info as he doesnt have a ABN registered in his name and that is the name i entered in the company name as it asks it even for Individual. so what do i do?
How to fill tax and contact info?
