Form W-9 (officially, the "Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification")[1] is used in the United States income tax system by a third party who must file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).[2] It requests the name, address, and taxpayer identification information of a taxpayer (in the form of a Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number).

The form is never actually sent to the IRS, but is maintained by the individual who files the information return for verification purposes. The information on the Form W-9 and the payment made are reported on a Form 1099.
