A W-9 is a tax form used in the United States by individuals and entities to provide their taxpayer identification information to clients or businesses that will be paying them. It includes details such as the name, business name (if applicable), address, and Social Security number or Employer Identification Number (EIN). This form is typically used by freelancers, contractors, and vendors, allowing the payer to report payments to the IRS. The completed W-9 allows the payer to issue a Form 1099 at year-end for tax reporting purposes.
