US Tax Compliance for International Artists

The Operating System for Touring Artists

Bookings, contracts, CWA applications, withholding tax, day counting and tour finances — one connected platform. Pay only for what you use.

CWA file opens 60 days before the first show — 15 days to submit before the IRS 45-day cutoff

Choose your path

Two ways into a Central Withholding Agreement — pick the one that matches your role.

I'm an artist or manager

CWA — Fill & Sign

Self-service CWA intake. Complete your tour details, income estimates and treaty info in a guided wizard, then sign and submit — no tax expertise needed.

I'm a withholding agent or staff

CWA — Application Draft

The qualification builder. Review artist eligibility, score qualifications and draft complete CWA applications from your queue, ready to file with the IRS.

Start an application

Sign in once and you land in the flow you picked — CWA, tax IDs, documents, or gigs.

Apply for CWA

Qualify and start the file 60 days before the first show, with 15 days to submit before the IRS 45-day cutoff.

EIN & ITIN

Get a US tax ID first. ITIN filings continue on ITIN Applications; EIN (SS-4) stays in StageBridge.

Tax intake

Upload the W-8 and identity documents the CWA and withholding agent will need.

Open gigs

Browse published US dates and flag interest. A manager takes it from there.

Built for Every Role

Each role gets exactly the access they need — nothing more, nothing less.

Artists

A guided path from profile to CWA to gigs. See status, sign what you need to sign, and always know the next step — without the tax admin dump.

  • Guided CWA intake
  • EIN / ITIN prep
  • Document vault
  • Deadline alerts

Managers

Run the roster: intakes, bookings, contracts, and the 60-day CWA window so every artist files on time.

  • Multi-artist roster
  • CWA & tax pipelines

Withholding Agents

A queue, not a scavenger hunt. Prepare and file CWAs, ITINs, and W-8s with 15 days to submit before the IRS cutoff.

  • Application queue
  • CWA preparation
  • ITIN / W-7 custody
  • W-8 verification
