Overview
What it is and when to use it
Form W-9 is used to provide your taxpayer identification number and certification to a requester who needs it for an information return. Use the official IRS form and instructions to determine what applies to you. Confirm the requester and return the completed form through an appropriate trusted channel.
Before you use it
Three things to settle first

IRS electronic-submission requirements are separate from ordinary document signing. Demand Signatures has not verified electronic W-9 collection against those requirements. This library provides only the official download and references. Consult a qualified tax adviser about your collection process.
