Do withheld money really go to the IRS?

[RanDembo]

Do adobestock actually transfer the withheld tax money to the IRS?

If so, why don't they supply a formal documentation (like 1042-S form or at least a formal letter)?

Emails to the tax team (adobetax@adobe.com) are ignored

If you're a U.S. taxpayer, your W9 form, which you can access on under "Tax Information" by clicking the "Contributor Account" on the top menu specifies whether Adobe will withhold tax; and after year end  you will receive a 1099 statement which indicates how much income you received as well as how much tax was withheld, if any.
Other instructions apply if you're not in the U.S.

I have no reason to doubt that Adobe, as a large multi-national company, remits to the IRS the taxes collected.

I am not a us tax payer.

I need to submit documentation about tax withheld as part of my tax report. Its deducted from my taxes, to avoid double tax, but I need a document.

Other agencies provide the 1042-S form automatically.

Adobe from some reason suplly a "letter", and only after special request.

But this year they do not respond. Its been over 6 weeks !

If you are not a US taxpayer but living in a region that has a tax treaty with the USA, there is no tax withheld, except if the treaty says so.

Maybe you should contact contributor support on this. Need help? (stock contributor support) 

[RanDembo]

There is a tax withheld of 10% on sales that comes from the US.

I need formal document from Adobe regarding the withheld amount.

There is no legal way, on any country, that tax is withheld without proper documentation.

Contributor support was unhelpful so far.

[Abambo]

Contributor support is quite responsive as of my experience. Please check your spam folder.

@MatHayward : is there anything else that @RanDembo can or should do?

[RanDembo]

Issue is not resolved.

Contibutor support is 100% un-helpful. They just refer to the non-responsive tax team.

Tax team that do not supply required formal document should not be an option in any company that follows regualation in any country.

[RanDembo]

No reply yet from tax team.

Few unhelpful responses from contributor support.

Withhelding taxes without document is 100% equivalent if adobe takes this money into its own pocket.

Update:

Today I finally received a formal letter.

It required several email remainders with red bold letters.

3 months after my original requests.

In other agencies an official 1042-S is produced automatically.

Summary:

Adobe stock treats its contributors poorly.

Poor service by the tax team.

Poor service by contributor support

No help from @MatHayward  , king of Pez

Could you let us know what the final response was so that, should other Stock Contributors have the same issue, the answer is on record?
