                        I]Blush [:I]Clown [:o)]Tongue [:P]Ahem, ahem. Big Smile [:D]Cool [8D]Smile [:)] Anyway, my tip got published in the March 2005 issue. My Tip is the last one on the page. Anyhow, now for the question. They said to enclose my social security no. for payment ( I know, I know, I have to be greedy I can't let the fame be enough)but I neglected to do so. Who should I send this valuable information to in order to collect my payment, gold, fortune, treasure, or riches? hehehehe. Seriously, who? Thanks guys.

                        I don't see why they need a S.S. number. Personally I wouldn't give it out.

                        I wouldn't give it out either. Having been a victom of id theft and spent years trying to fix it, I don't think it is worth the risk. BTW, congrats on your publication!

                        Model Grandpa is absolutely correct. We need the SS# for tax reporting purposes. Sorry to disappoint those that thought we were up to something a bit more nefarious.

                        Tankmaster, you'll probably need to contact someone on our editorial staff with that information, but I'll do some checking and follow up with you off board.

                        The SS numbver is one of the reasons why I don't submit articles to FSM, for the simple reason that I as a non-US citizen/resident don't have one.
                        Same way I cannot enter their sweepstakes.

                        So how would I or any other modeler/forum meber get paid for my submissions?

                        Non-US residents would need to provide us with a tax payer ID number to be compensated for a submission.

                        Did some research on it and I think you are talking about an ITIN.

                        Sounds like quiet a bit of hassle to get one.
