20-Form 6-Substitute W-9 Direct Deposit Form.docx

This is a TWC Substitute W-9 and Direct Deposit Form used by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) to collect taxpayer identification and payment information from vendors and contractors. The form serves as a substitute W-9 for tax identification purposes and requires vendors to provide their legal name, business name if applicable, tax mailing address, and taxpayer identification number (either Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number). Vendors must also designate their federal tax classification and business designation, including options for Texas corporations, professional corporations, limited liability companies, individuals, partnerships, sole proprietorships, state agencies, and government entities. Additional sections require vendors to provide profit status, corporation information including state of jurisdiction and file/charter number, sole ownership information, or general partnership details as applicable to their business structure.

The form mandates completion of direct deposit information as a required response, with options for vendors to establish new direct deposit accounts, continue existing arrangements, change account information, or cancel direct deposit services. Vendors must provide their financial institution name, address, routing number, account type (checking or savings), and account number. The form includes a certification section requiring an authorized signature, printed name, and date, wherein the vendor certifies under penalties of perjury that they have provided correct taxpayer identification information, are not subject to backup withholding, and are a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person. Vendors must also authorize the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts to process electronic deposits in accordance with National Automated Clearing House Association rules.
