W-9 Form

Download and print the Form W-9.

The form is a request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.


Enter your Taxpayer Identification Number in the appropriate box.

The TIN provided must match the name given on the “Name” line to avoid backup withholding.

For individuals, this is your social security number (SSN).

However, for a resident alien, sole proprietor, or disregarded entity, see the Part I instructions

on page 3.

For other entities, it is your employer identification number (EIN).

If you do not have a number, see How to get a TIN on page 3.

Note. If the account is in more than one name, see the chart on page 4 for guidelines on whose

number to enter.
