A W-9 form is a simple document used to collect basic tax information. Businesses use it to get your name and tax ID (like your Social Security Number or EIN).
When do you need a W-9?
You usually need a W-9 when:
You hire a contractor or freelancer
You pay someone who is not your employee
Someone is paying you for contract work
A bank or company asks for your tax information
The W-9 helps businesses report payments correctly to the IRS.
