What is a W-9 form?
Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is the IRS form a business uses to collect your legal name, address, and taxpayer identification number (usually a Social Security number or EIN) before paying you as a non-employee. The payer keeps the form on file and uses the information to prepare year-end statements such as Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. You do not send a W-9 to the IRS yourself — it goes to the company that asked for it.
Who needs to complete one?
Freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, landlords receiving rent through a property manager, and vendors paid $600 or more in a year are the most common W-9 filers. Banks and brokerages may also request one before opening an account. If you operate through an LLC or corporation, the form lets you indicate your federal tax classification so the payer reports your income correctly.
Filling it out online
The form itself is short: name, business name if different, tax classification checkbox, address, TIN, and a signature certifying the information is accurate. On FinishMyDocs you can type directly into each field, check the right classification box, add your signature electronically, and download a clean, legible PDF — no printing and rescanning a crumpled copy.
Once finished, send the signed PDF to the requester and keep a copy for your records. If your name, address, or tax classification changes later, you should provide an updated W-9.
