Hello, I am reaching out to inquire whether it is possible to transfer ownership of a UEFN Fortnite Team to another individual and I wanted to know if there is a supported process for doing so. I am looking to transfer the ownership to the other developer so that the earnings can go under there tax information and payment account as they are continuing to post active maps as I no longer am able to help due to due to personal circumstances. I couldn’t find clear information on whether this is allowed or how to go about it. I would greatly appreciate any clarification or instructions you can provide regarding this matter.
You can’t transfer team ownership BUT YOU CAN transfer project ownership just ask them to make a new team and invite you in it, and I would ask to be sure you really trust the person you transfer project ownership because when transferred you can’t get them back without their permission.
Lets say I transfer them to someone else, Will they be the one paying the taxes at the end of the year since the map has made a good amount in 2024 since it’ll be under there tax information on the new team?
If I’m not mistaken Any earnings made BEFORE the map is transferred would go to the previous account while any earnings made after it’s transferred would be credited to the current owners account
No I know that, What im saying is lets say the map has made 30k in a month but it made that while under me even tho it was his map, If I transfer the map to his team will he be the one paying the taxes for it at the end of 2025 instead of me or would I since it made that money while I owned the team even though the money is also still going to him.
I can’t be 100% certain but I assume whatever earnings you get paid out from your epic account you should probably tax that.
