Frequently Asked Questions
Who asks for a W-9?
Banks, clients, and payers request a W-9 so they can report payments to the IRS (for example on a 1099).
Is this the same as a W-4?
No. A W-9 gives your taxpayer ID to a payer; a W-4 tells an employer how much to withhold from your paycheck.
Do I send the W-9 to the IRS?
No. You return the completed W-9 to the requester. They keep it on file; they don’t file it with the IRS.
