Hi @creativepen87,

I think that sale was for a US customer and Us withholding tax taken from your sale price.
Please check your Dashboard Statements page for more information about your earnings.

For reducing US backup withholding tax (24%) you should to submit your TAX information form. If you submit the form with your TAX information then only tax will be taken for US sale and TAX percentage depends on your country.
US Tax Treaties:

Thanks

Thank you, I think that explains everything… I will update my Tax Summaries and see if it works
