Where to find the OnlyFans Tax Id Number?

If you're earning money on OnlyFans, you’re technically a business. That means you’re expected to handle your taxes like one. Whether you're doing this full-time or making some spicy side cash, there comes a moment where you’re staring at your tax return and asking yourself, “Where do I even find the OnlyFans tax ID number?” If you’ve been there, you’re not alone.

This post clears it up for you without the legal lingo overload. Let’s get straight into how to find the OnlyFans tax ID, why it matters, and what it means for your tax filing.

What Is the OnlyFans Tax ID Number?

The OnlyFans Tax ID number is used for tax reporting purposes. In the United States, this is typically the EIN (Employer Identification Number) for Fenix International Limited — the parent company of OnlyFans. You might see it on your 1099-NEC form, and it’s required if you're filing taxes and need to report your OnlyFans income.

This ID is not something you create or choose. It’s OnlyFans’ business identifier. You use it when filling out your tax return, especially if you're filing as a self-employed individual or sole proprietor.

If you're outside the U.S. and wondering whether this applies to you — it might. Many countries require reporting foreign income, especially if it's received from platforms like OnlyFans. In any case, knowing where to find this number is crucial.

Where Can You Actually Find the OnlyFans Tax ID Number?

Let’s skip the guesswork. Here are the most common places where you’ll find the OnlyFans tax ID number if you’ve earned income through the platform.

On Your 1099-NEC Form (US Creators Only)

If you made $600 or more in a year and filled out a W-9 form, you should receive a 1099-NEC from OnlyFans (or more accurately, from Fenix International Limited). This form will include:

• Your earnings
• Your name and address
• The Tax ID (EIN) of Fenix International Limited

This is the easiest and most official source of the number.

Inside the W-9 or W-8BEN Submission Confirmation

If you're based in the US, you’ve likely filled out a W-9. Non-US creators fill out a W-8BEN. When you submit these forms during your OnlyFans setup, you receive a confirmation that sometimes lists the EIN of the payer — again, Fenix International.

In Your Email Inbox or Tax Portal (Stripe)

OnlyFans processes payouts through Stripe, and if you’ve opted in for electronic tax forms, you may have received an email with your 1099 or access to Stripe’s tax portal.

Once you log in, the documents usually list the EIN under the payer’s information. If you didn’t opt in for electronic delivery, the paper copy would show it as well.

Not receiving these forms? You may be under the income threshold, or you might need to update your OnlyFans profile settings. Check out OnlyFans Reports to IRS – Here Are the Facts for clarification.

Can You Just Google the OnlyFans Tax ID Number?

Let’s be honest, you probably already tried that. And sure, some creators have posted it on forums or subreddits. But here’s the deal — you shouldn’t rely on user-posted numbers for legal documents. The EIN could change, and unless it’s coming directly from a verified source (your tax forms or Stripe), don’t risk it.

If you didn’t receive a form and think you should have, your best move is to contact OnlyFans customer support. Or better yet, work with an experienced team who’s dealt with this before — we help creators like you every day.

Why Does the Tax ID Even Matter?

Here’s why this number matters: it links your income to the business that paid you. When you report income from OnlyFans, the IRS (or your country’s tax authority) expects that income to match a payer. The payer in this case is Fenix International Limited.

Your tax preparer may ask for the EIN if you didn’t receive a 1099 but still want to report your income accurately. Or if you're self-filing, it may be required in the software you’re using.

If you report earnings without the payer's details, your return might get flagged — not ideal.

What If You’re Not in the US?

Even if you're based outside the US, you might still need the OnlyFans tax ID — especially if your country requires you to declare foreign income.

Let’s say you’re in Canada, the UK, or Australia. Your local tax office might ask for the payer’s tax ID when you submit your earnings. You won’t get a 1099, but you can still access your payout records and tax summaries through your account settings and Stripe dashboard.

In these cases, many creators just attach their Stripe payout reports or OnlyFans account statements to their tax return and enter the payer name manually. If your accountant wants the tax ID, check your original onboarding documents or tax forms.

Pro Tips to Stay Tax-Ready as a Creator

Whether or not you’ve got the tax ID number handy right now, being proactive with your tax prep will save you time, stress, and penalties.

Here’s how:

Track Your Earnings Regularly

Don’t wait until tax season to figure out what you made. Use a spreadsheet or a free accounting app to log your monthly payouts from OnlyFans (or Stripe).

If you're still unsure how earnings are calculated, read How Much Can You Make on OnlyFans

Save a Portion of Every Payout

Set aside 20% to 30% of your income in a separate account for taxes. Yes, even if OnlyFans doesn’t withhold anything automatically.

Understand the Forms You’ll Receive

• 1099-NEC: US-based creators who earn $600+
• W-9/W-8BEN: Forms you submit during setup
• Stripe Tax Documents: Check your payout portal for access

Use a Tax Professional (Who Gets It)

Some accountants still think OnlyFans is a hobby. You need someone who understands creator income, digital business models, and platform-based payouts. That’s why many of our creators prefer letting us manage their business side too.

If you'd rather focus on growing your fans than stressing over forms, talk to us at PhoeniX Creators. We don’t just boost your subs, we help you scale like a business.

What If You Didn’t Receive Any Tax Forms?

That happens more than you’d expect — especially if:

• You earned under $600 (in the US)
• You didn’t submit a W-9 or W-8BEN correctly
• Your email or address was outdated

You still need to report your income. This is considered self-employment income, and the IRS doesn’t care whether OnlyFans sent you paperwork. You earned money. You owe taxes. Period.

If you're unsure how to file without a 1099, check your Stripe payout history or OnlyFans dashboard. And yes, you can still enter the income manually.
