US Tax Compliance for International Artists

The Operating System for Touring Artists

Bookings, contracts, CWA prep, withholding tax, day counting and tour finances — one connected platform. You and your designated agent file with the IRS yourselves. StageBridge does not lodge.

Logged-out visitors sign in with Base44, then drop straight into that page — no onboarding questionnaire.

CWA file opens 60 days before the first show. You or your designated agent file the packet yourselves. StageBridge does not lodge.

Choose your role

One CWA, three parties. Artists and managers apply. Withholding agents prepare, file, and withhold. After login you land on the page you picked — no extra questionnaire.

I'm an artist or manager

Artist / manager — apply

You start the CWA. Guided Form 13930: eligibility, itinerary, budget, documents, then the artist signs. Name your designated withholding agent so the file lands in their queue. They file the packet with the IRS themselves. StageBridge does not lodge.

I'm a US withholding agent

Withholding agent — prepare

You do not apply for a CWA. Artists designate you. Accept the designation, query missing documents, file the signed packet with the IRS yourself, mark submitted in StageBridge, then withhold and deposit under the agreement. StageBridge does not lodge.

Start an application

Sign in once and you land in the flow you picked — CWA, EIN & ITIN, or Open gigs. No extra onboarding questionnaire.

Start CWA file

Eligibility questions, then Form 13930 stages. Start 60 days before the first show. You or your designated agent file the packet yourselves. StageBridge does not lodge.

EIN & ITIN

Prep SS-4 in StageBridge; file it with the IRS yourself. ITIN (W-7) continues on ITIN Applications. StageBridge does not lodge those filings.

Business formation

Choose individual or US entity. Saved on your profile, then routed to ITIN or EIN. StageBridge does not file state papers.

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.

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

  • Accept designation
  • Query missing documents
  • Mark submitted (in-app)
