What is a W-9 and when does a business need one?
Form W-9 is used to provide a taxpayer identification number and certify specified tax information to a requester. Businesses may be asked to complete one by clients, financial institutions, or others that need taxpayer information for reporting purposes. The form can be downloaded directly from the IRS website by searching “W9 IRS form”. Swyft Filings will provide their EIN and address for clients that have spent $600+ total for the year.

An Employer Identification Number, or EIN, is a federal tax identification number commonly used for tax filings, payroll, banking, licenses, and other business activities.
