What is Form W-9 used for?
Form W-9 (Rev. March 2024) is the current version. Form W-9 itself has no payment threshold. Businesses commonly request it before payment so they have the payee's correct name and TIN if an information return is later required. Give the completed form to the requester, not the IRS.

Requesting a W-9 from a contractor
Planning to work with a freelancer or contractor? Request the W-9 up front, before any payment, so the TIN is on file if a 1099 is required.
