Another person I'll ask (!): were the roll-over (multiple months) payments due to not meeting the $250 threshold previously or just because they weren't paid?

No, all regions were above $250 for all months. It most likely had to do with the Wamu-Chase Swift code fiasco. I'm hoping all the missing payments come along for the ride with the March payments.
 
I'm from Mexico, and I got today my first payment ever, for the US region. I'm happy. :)


same here got my first ever payment today it was for Europe, waiting on U.S. but content in knowing that account is setup right.
 
Anyone with Bank of America NOT get their US payment yet? Or am I the only one? lol

I am in exactly the same boat as you for the Feburary and March for US. I have Citibank though. I haven't received Europe either.

I'm worried because I got two emails from Apple saying they overpaid me. I sent back one email saying it was wrong, but they never replied to me. I hope they didn't double deduct to me.
 
Just got my USA payment this morning!

Now I am just waiting on Europe, Canada, and UK.

I have already been paid by USA and Worldwide. Australia and Japan are below $250 for me.

Dude, why so many different countries?
 
I'm curious, why wouldn't he want so many different countries? The goal is to get paid in all seven regions, not just the U.S.

If I can speak for the other poster, or at least my take on it, it would be nice to consolidate payments into one check. It would also be nice to only need to only need to accrue $250 total rather than per country. Finally, are we going to get multiple 1099's (or the int'l equivalent?)

From my understanding, the reason for the different regions is that they are considered different business entities. And you will not be getting any 1099's from Apple. They aren't reporting anything to the IRS. It's up to you to report your earnings.

Thanks! Re the business entities, that's understandable, but I'm surprised they don't "mask" it better. They could transfer funds 'en masse' to the U.S. entity, then from there to the developers. After all, they have six weeks. Then again, I don't want to delay things any more!

I thought (probably incorrectly!) they had asked for our social security # at one point, and perhaps I assumed it was for 1099... or maybe they didn't ask at all, as you certainly don't have to be U.S.-based to be a dev. Regardless, I've been in touch w/ my accountant to pay quarterly estimated taxes. Thanks!

That would be great, but this is probably how iTunes worked before the App Store, so I doubt they'll change it. But one wire transfer would be fantastic.

Yeah, we all assumed we'd get 1099's last Janurary. When it didn't happen, somebody contacted Apple and got a response that we wouldn't get any.
 
My first ever payment came in today :D.
It's seems Apple combined my February and March payment for the US region into 1 payment (February was already well over $250).
 
yep, also got AUD payment. no reports or payments from other locales, though (which is fine, it's only the 16th)
