About Form W-9
What is Form W-9?
Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is how a U.S. person gives their correct name and taxpayer identification number (TIN) to a business or other requester that must file information returns with the IRS — for example a Form 1099 for payments made to you. You give the completed form to the requester; it is not filed with the IRS.
Who can use this W-9 generator?
U.S. individuals and eligible U.S. entities — sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, LLCs, trusts and estates. Specific rules apply to disregarded LLCs (the owner's name goes on line 1) and to LLCs that elected a corporate classification. It is not automatically the right form for everyone who owns a U.S.-formed company.
How do I complete a W-9?
Identify the taxpayer, follow the IRS name and classification rules for lines 1 to 3, enter the mailing address, add the correct TIN in Part I, then review the certification and sign and date the form where required by the IRS instructions or the requester. The generator walks you through each step and explains every line.
Does a foreign-owned US LLC always use a W-9?
No. What matters is the status of the underlying taxpayer. A single-member LLC that is disregarded for federal tax purposes is not the taxpayer — its owner is. When the owner is a foreign person, the owner generally provides the applicable Form W-8 rather than a W-9 in the LLC's name. Get an entity-specific determination where a foreign person owns a U.S. LLC.
Do I send Form W-9 to the IRS?
No. Give the completed, signed form to the person or business that asked for it (the requester). Keep a copy for your records, and share it only through a channel you trust, because it contains your taxpayer identification number.
Does the generator sign the form electronically?
Not in this version. You download the official form and sign and date it yourself where required. The certification text on the form is left exactly as the IRS printed it.
