Question about EFT

[RogerZF]

I registered for AdSense under my mother's name since I was not 18 at the time. I have a $500 paycheck on hold since I have yet to submit my W-9.

Would it make sense to use my mother's SSN for the W-9? How can I make myself the receipiant of the payments without changing my Adsense account name? Do I have to enter my mother's name in the EFT form when it asks you for your bank account number?

I know Google doesn't allow name changes. I'm worried about discussing this with them though because they might just suddenly terminate my account again.

I think it will need to be paid to your mum as your mum's income, into her bank account, and on her tax bill. Apply to Google for a new account under your own name and use that in the future.

It's your mother's account, income, taxes, SSN, ... money.

Not yours.

Better keep a good standing with her.
