TangoMe, Inc. is a company based in the United States. Under U.S. tax regulations, we are required to collect certain tax information from creators who earn income through the Tango platform.

As required by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), we must maintain tax information for users who earn income through creator payouts.

There are currently two separate tax reporting flows that may apply to creators.
