What is the W-9 form for contractors?
Businesses use IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, to get information from vendors they hire as independent contractors (also called freelancers).
The form is filled out by independent contractors who provide services to companies that have not hired them as full-time employees. If you are paid $600 or less in a single year by a company, you will not need to fill out the form for that company.
When You Shouldn't Fill Out a W-9
An independent contractor who receives an unexpected W-9 should hesitate before filling it out and research whether the requester has a legitimate reason to ask for this form. Financial institutions sometimes use Form W-9 to request information from a customer when they need to report dividends or interest.
