I’m 17 years old and want to start a Shopify Store. But whose Social Security Number(SSN) show I put for payments, mine or my parents and how does that affect taxes (Since I don’t do that yet, but if I start making money I’ll have too right)?
Hi @naydalymunoz ,
Nick here from Shopify.
In this instance, it would need to be your parent’s SSN for the payments and they would also need to be the account owners (AO) as per the Shopify terms and conditions stating you must be 18 yrs old. Any income from the store (Shopify Payments (SP’s)) will be reported to the IRS under your parent’s SSN also.
You can read the Shopify Terms of Service here and see no.2 of the Account terms regarding what we are discussing below:
I hope that helps and answers your question. Let me know if you have any others. 
Cheers, Nick
I was in the exact same situaion, I have now turned 18, how do I change my ssn into my name?
