Contractor FAQ: Why We Request Your W-9 and How It Affects Your Payment
1. Why do I need to submit a W-9 form?
We are required by the IRS to collect a completed Form W-9 from all independent contractors before issuing payments. This form provides your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) so we can report your earnings correctly at year-end on Form 1099-NEC.
2. What happens if I donโt submit a W-9?
If you do not submit a valid W-9, the IRS requires us to withhold 24% of your payment for federal backup withholding and send it directly to the IRS.
This means:
- You will receive only 76% of your total payment
- The 24% withheld will be reported to the IRS on your 1099-NEC (Box 4)
- You may be able to claim that withheld amount as a credit when filing your tax return
3. Can I still get paid without a W-9?
Yes, but the 24% backup withholding will apply until we receive your completed W-9. To avoid this, we strongly recommend submitting the form as soon as possible.
4. Where can I get the W-9 form?
