  • Social Security Number (SSN) on your Pay Portal profile is incorrect or contains spaces or dashes. The format should be 9 digits.
  • Business Name and/or Employer Identification Number (EIN) may not yet be available across all IRS systems if your EIN was issued less than 4 weeks ago.

How do I need to complete a Certificate of Foreign Status (tax Form W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E)?
  1. Log into your account.
  2. Download the Certificate of Foreign Status by filling out the W-8BEN form for individuals, or W-8BEN-E if you're a business.
  3. Complete, sign the printed Form, and upload them back into the Pay Portal.

Note: Only a single file can be submitted. Ensure that your submission is clear and legible. Scan the entire form, including unmarked or unused pages. The file must be smaller than 4 MB with a maximum filename of 30 characters in PDF, TIFF, JPG, or PNG format. 

Why do I need to complete a Certificate of Foreign Status (tax Form W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E)?

All US payment processors, including Hyperwallet, are required by the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to provide information to the IRS regarding account holders who receive payments for the sale of goods and services above the reporting threshold in a calendar year.

In order for Hyperwallet to satisfy its information reporting obligations under IRS rules and regulations, we require that Hyperwallet account holders (with a U.S. person tax status globally) who approach the applicable thresholds (of $600 USD) set by the IRS verify their U.S. tax status either by completing a Certificate of Foreign Status or providing a US Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).

Am I eligible to receive a Form 1099?

If your total payments from iHerb Cashout meet or exceed the IRS threshold of $600 USD over the course of the tax year, you are eligible to receive a Form 1099.

If you are unsure about whether or not you meet this requirement, you can view a list of your total payments for a given period by logging in to your Pay Portal and following these steps:

  1. Click History
  2. Adjust the “To” and “From” dates. Maximum search history is 365 days.
  3. Select Load funds as the Transaction Type.
  4. Click Search
  5. If necessary, to view more payment information on a single page, increase the number of rows displayed on the search results.
  6. Calculate your total earnings by adding up the values in the “Credit” column.

In addition to meeting the $600 USD IRS threshold, a Substitute Form W-9 must be submitted and in good standing prior to December 31st of the year a Form 1099 is issued.

If you meet the IRS threshold of $600 USD but your Substitute Form W-9 was submitted after this deadline, contact iHerb Cashout directly for assistance obtaining your Form 1099.

How do I view my Form 1099?
  1. Log in to your Pay Portal
  2. Click Resources > Tax Documents
  3. Locate your Form 1099 under “Available Year End Tax Forms”.
  4. Click Action > Download

NOTE: During tax season, you may experience longer than usual wait times for your tax documents to be displayed. If the tax document you are looking for does not display immediately, wait a few extra minutes or try using a different web browser if the issue persists.

How long does it take for transactions to appear on my Prepaid Card history?

In most cases, your transaction history will be updated immediately after the card processor receives the transaction information.

Not all merchants may immediately submit their card transactions for processing. This may cause a delay in your transactions being displayed on the Pay Portal.

What should I do if my Prepaid Card is lost or stolen?

Please call customer support immediately so it can be suspended or disabled and replaced.

What should I know about using my Prepaid Card at gas stations, hotels, and other merchants?

When you swipe or insert your Prepaid Card at a gas station pump, the gas station will place a pre-authorized hold of up to $125.00 USD or more on your card prior to you filling up.

The actual amount purchased will be processed on the card at a later time, but the initial hold may last for 8 days before being released, minus the amount of gas that was purchased.

During the time that the hold is in effect, the funds being held will be unavailable for you to use.

When the transaction settles, you will only be charged for the amount of gas purchased.

To avoid pre-authorized holds, we recommend pre-paying inside the gas station so you can specify the exact amount of gas you wish to purchase.

Some other merchants may have similar practices and even longer maximum pre-authorization timeframes:

  • Hotels and cruise lines (up to 30 days)
  • Vehicle rental agencies (up to 60 days)
  • Financial institutions (up to 10 days)

 

What do I do if I don't recognize a merchant listed on my transaction history?

Some merchants may bill under a legal name which differs from their operating name or bill from a state / region that is different from where the purchase was made.

If you have questions about a transaction, please contact the merchant directly.

What do I do if I believe a transaction is fraudulent or incorrect?

If you believe a Prepaid Card transaction has been posted to your account in error, a dispute can be submitted to the issuing bank within 60 days of the date that the purchase appears on your transaction history.

If you suspect fraudulent activity, contact customer support immediately so the card can be disabled and replaced.

How do I submit a Prepaid Card dispute?

Your Prepaid Card’s issuing bank is displayed on the back of the card. To submit a dispute, download the corresponding dispute form listed below and follow the instructions on the form:

The Bancorp Bank, N.A.Visa ® Prepaid Card

Pathward/PACE Visa/Mastercard Prepaid Card

Disputes must be submitted within 60 calendar days of when the charge posts to the account.

What happens after I submit my Prepaid Card dispute?

After your dispute is received, we will investigate the discrepancy in question based off the information you have provided us; however, we may need to contact the merchant for more information about the disputed transaction(s).

If more information is needed, we may contact you by mail. We process disputes according to billing error procedures that are governed by federal law and outlined in your Cardholder Agreement.

When your investigation is completed, if we find that a discrepancy did occur, the funds should be returned to you within 45 - 60 days.

Why is a transaction still outstanding?

It means that the transaction is pending and has not been cleared by the merchant. Pending transactions are usually cleared shortly after a purchase is made.

These transactions cannot be disputed, however, the merchant may be able to settle the funds early if necessary documentation is submitted.
