B.1_472719 - Enclosure E_W-9 Form.pdf

This document is Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, revised March 2024 by the Internal Revenue Service. The form is provided by requesters (such as federal agencies, employers, or financial institutions) to individuals or entities from whom they must obtain correct taxpayer identification numbers (TIN) for reporting purposes on information returns to the IRS.

The form requires the filer to provide their name, business name if applicable, federal tax classification, TIN (Social Security number for individuals or Employer Identification Number for entities), and address information. Part I requires entry of the appropriate TIN in boxes for either a social security number or employer identification number. Part II contains certification statements under penalty of perjury, including certification that the TIN is correct, the filer is not subject to backup withholding, and any applicable FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) exemption codes are accurate. The form includes detailed instructions addressing backup withholding requirements, FATCA reporting exemptions, foreign person status, nonresident alien provisions, and penalties for failure to furnish a correct TIN or providing false information. The instructions specify which account types require certification signatures and provide guidance on obtaining a TIN for those who do not have one. The document is not a solicitation for products or services but rather a required tax certification form used in federal contracting and other business contexts.
