This is a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) from the Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service, revised March 2024. The form is used to request taxpayer identification numbers from individuals and businesses to avoid backup withholding on payments and to report information to the IRS.

The form includes certification requirements where the taxpayer must verify their correct TIN, backup withholding exemption status if applicable, and FATCA reporting code exemptions.

The form contains detailed instructions for various entity types including corporations, partnerships, LLCs, trusts, and foreign entities, with specific guidance on tax classification selection and TIN requirements. It includes extensive backup withholding rules that apply to interest, dividends, and other reportable payments, with certain exemptions for specific payee types such as corporations, tax-exempt organizations, and government entities. The form also addresses FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) reporting requirements for foreign financial institutions and provides privacy act notices regarding the collection and use of taxpayer information for identity verification and fraud prevention purposes.
