What Is Form W-9?
A W-9, officially known as the Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is a required tax form used to collect taxpayer information and support accurate payment reporting to the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The W-9 is commonly used by businesses to collect information from freelancers, independent contractors, vendors, single-member LLCs, and C corporations for tax reporting purposes when initiating a new project or partnership.
The W-9 form collects details such as a legal name or business name, mailing address, Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), tax classification, and backup withholding information. The purpose is to ensure all parties comply with tax laws.
KEY TAKEWAYS
The W-9 form is a formal written request for information only and is primarily used for the purpose of confirming an individual’s or entity’s TIN.
The information taken from the W-9 form is often used to file an informational document with the IRS, such as Form 1099, to report any earnings that may affect your federal tax return or your taxable income.
Why Needs TrueCommerce Form W-9?
