The W-9 route collects your legal name, classification, taxpayer identifier, address and certifications. Use information that accurately describes your circumstances.
Before you start
Use this route only when W-9 is the appropriate form for your circumstances. Have your accurate legal name, tax classification, taxpayer identifier and address available; get qualified advice if the classification is uncertain.
Steps
- Open Tax Information Required from Home. Answer the U.S.-person question using your correct tax status. If you are unsure which form or classification applies, get qualified tax advice before signing.
- In U.S. Tax Information (W-9), enter Full legal name as shown on the tax return. Add a Business or DBA name if applicable.
- Choose the appropriate Tax Classification from the offered options: Individual/sole proprietor, Single-member LLC, C Corporation, S Corporation, Partnership, Trust/estate or Other. Choose Continue.
- Choose the correct Tax ID Type, SSN or EIN, and enter the identifier in the format shown.
- Complete Address (where you file taxes): Street, optional Apt/Suite, City, State and ZIP. Choose Continue.
- Read every certification. Confirm only declarations that are accurate for you. Enter the matching full name in Electronic Signature and review Date.
- When the form is accurate and you intend to sign it, choose Complete Tax Information. Check Tax Information Submitted, then choose Return home.
What to expect
Check Tax Information Submitted after signing and submitting accurate information. This is a submission state, not an independently issued tax document or acceptance determination.
If something does not work
- If the SSN or EIN field reports an invalid format, check the selected identifier type and the displayed formatting requirements; never invent a number.
- If Signature must match the name provided appears, compare the signature with the name entered earlier.
- If the app asks you to check all certifications but a statement is not true for you, stop and resolve the issue rather than checking it to continue.
- Tax Information Submitted confirms the displayed submission state; it does not itself establish an issued tax document or independent tax acceptance.
- Use only the secure document collection or upload method supplied for this task. Do not attach tax identifiers, identity documents or financial documents to a general support message; ask for the confirmed secure method if it is unclear.
