Enclosure 5 - W-9 Domestic 2024.pdf

The document is a Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification (Form W-9), revised in March 2024 by the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. This standard tax form is used to provide a taxpayer's identification information to entities that will be making payments to the taxpayer, such as for contract work, dividends, or other income. The form requires key details including the taxpayer's name, business name, federal tax classification, exemption codes, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), which is typically a Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals or an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for businesses.

The form includes two primary parts: Part I for entering the Taxpayer Identification Number and Part II for Certification, where the taxpayer affirms the accuracy of their provided information and certifies their exempt status. It also provides instructions for completing various sections, explains backup withholding requirements, and includes guidance on establishing U.S. status for tax purposes. The document emphasizes the importance of providing accurate information and warns of potential penalties for false statements, including civil and criminal penalties. Additionally, it includes a Privacy Act Notice and recommendations for protecting against identity theft.
