Attachment F W-9.pdf

This document is the W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification form, a standard Internal Revenue Service (IRS) document used by state and local entities to collect taxpayer identification information from vendors and contractors. The form requires completion of basic business information including the name, business name (if different), business address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN), which may be a Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals or an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for entities. The document includes checkboxes for federal tax classification such as sole proprietor, partnership, corporation, or limited liability company status. The form must be signed and dated by the contractor or vendor prior to submission.

Part II of the form contains certification statements in which the signatory attests to the accuracy of the TIN provided, confirms U.S. citizenship or permanent resident status, certifies compliance with IRS backup withholding requirements, and validates FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) reporting status. The instructions provided explain the purpose of the form, define what constitutes a U.S. person for tax purposes, and outline the consequences of providing incorrect information, including potential backup withholding obligations. This form is a standard requirement in state and local contracting processes and must be completed before payment authorization to any contractor or vendor.
