17-Form 6 - Subtitute W-9 and direct deposit form.docx

This is a TWC Substitute W-9 and Direct Deposit Form used by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) for vendor payment processing and tax documentation purposes. The form requires vendors to provide their legal business name, tax identification information (either Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number), and federal tax classification designation. Vendors must also declare their business structure type, profit status, and jurisdiction of incorporation if applicable. The form accommodates various business entity types including sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, limited liability companies, and government entities. Additionally, the form requires vendors to declare whether they are exempt from backup withholding under IRS regulations and certify U.S. citizenship or resident alien status under penalties of perjury.

The Direct Deposit section of the form requires mandatory response from vendors regarding their payment method preferences. Vendors must either authorize electronic direct deposit to their designated financial institution or formally decline the direct deposit option. For those electing direct deposit, the form requires complete banking information including the financial institution name, routing number, account type (checking or savings), and account number. Vendors must also confirm whether payments will be forwarded to financial institutions outside the United States. The form requires authorized signature, printed name, and date certification, and grants the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts authority to reverse any erroneous payments made to the vendor's account while ensuring compliance with National Automated Clearing House Association rules.
