How to fill out the W9 online
Filling out the W9 form online can seem complex, but with clear guidance, you can complete it with confidence. This document is essential for providing your taxpayer identification number to those who need it for reporting income and other financial transactions.
Follow the steps to fill out the W9 form accurately.
- Click ‘Get Form’ button to obtain the form and open it in the editor.
- Enter your name as it appears on your income tax return in the designated field. If you have a business name that's different, include that as well.
- Check the appropriate box to indicate your federal tax classification. Options include Individual/Sole Proprietor, C Corporation, S Corporation, Partnership, Trust/Estate, and Limited Liability Company. If applicable, specify the tax classification for LLC.
- Fill in your address, including the street, city, state, and ZIP code. If the requester has provided their name and address, you may include that information as well.
- In Part I, provide your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). For individuals, this will typically be your Social Security Number (SSN). If you're an entity, use your Employer Identification Number (EIN).
