Users

Within the TaxBit ecosystem, User represents an account owned by an end user, which includes Personal Identifiable Information (PII) data and transaction records associated with that account.

While no specific field is mandatory to establish a User in our system, certain fields like tax_id are necessary for features like Information Reporting and Withholding (IRW) Form Generation and Automatic TIN Validation. The fields you incorporate will depend significantly on your specific use case. Nonetheless, it is advised to provide as much data as feasible regarding a User as a best practice to ensure that TaxBit possesses the required information to satisfy your regulatory requirements.
