How to Fill and Upload Form W-9 (For US Companies/Entities) 

If you are a US citizen, a US resident alien, or a US-based entity (such as a Corporation, Partnership, or LLC), you are required to submit Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). 

Note: If you are NOT a US person or entity, do not use this form. You must submit Form W-8BEN (individuals) or W-8BEN-E (entities) instead. 

Step 1: Download the Form W-9 

You should always use the latest version of the form provided by the IRS. 

Step 2: How to Fill Out the Form 

Please follow the instructions below to complete the form. You can fill it out digitally or print it and fill it out with a black pen. 

Line 1 (Name): 

  • Type your name as shown on your income tax return. 
  • Sole proprietors: List your individual name here. 
  • Entities: Input the name of the entity. 

Line 2 (Business Name): 

  • If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name different from Line 1, provide it here. Otherwise, leave it blank.

  • Select one box that applies to your tax status (e.g., Individual/Sole proprietor, C Corporation, S Corporation, Partnership, Trust/Estate). 
  • LLCs: If you are a Limited Liability Company, check the “Limited liability company” box and enter your tax classification (C, S, or P). Note: Single-member LLCs that are disregarded entities usually check the “Individual/Sole proprietor” box, not the LLC box.
