Frequently asked questions
What is a W-9 and why do I need one?
A W-9 is an IRS form that provides your taxpayer identification number (SSN or EIN) to a business that pays you. Freelancers, contractors, and vendors commonly need to provide a W-9 to clients before receiving payment.
Is my Social Security Number safe?
Yes. Your SSN or EIN is encrypted in your browser before it is transmitted and is never stored in plain text. The completed PDF masks your TIN (e.g. XXX-XX-1234) for your protection.
How quickly will I receive my W-9?
Your completed W-9 PDF is generated immediately after payment and sent to your email within minutes. The download link is valid for 24 hours.
Is the electronic signature legally valid?
Yes. Electronic signatures on W-9 forms are accepted by the IRS under the E-SIGN Act. Your signature is timestamped and stored in a secure audit log.
