U.S. tax regulations require Amazon to collect information about your tax status under U.S. law using our short online tax interview accessible from the KDP Account page. This is because Amazon issues payments that can be regarded as income. We must receive and validate your tax identity information before you can update existing books or publish new books in the Kindle store.
