W9 Form Printable 2023 - 2024

Request for Taxpayer Identification Number or better known as Form W-9 is one of the most commonly used tax forms. W9 Form printable for the 2024 tax year is used for providing the correct taxpayer identification number to a payer so that the proper tax forms can be filed to report the income paid. 

The payer won’t be able to fill out the necessary tax forms to report the income paid without the taxpayer identification number so it must be filed by the individual/business receiving the payment. Most payers require the W-9 before they make a payment but regardless of the payment taking place before or after the W-9 is furnished, taxpayers must file it.

Form W-9 penalties you should be aware of

Form W-9 is kind of mandatory to file as the payer won’t be able to file the necessary information returns to report your income. You’ll need the information returns to report the gross income on the federal income tax return. 

For every Form W-9 violation, there is a $50 penalty and intentionally avoiding filing it can result in backup withholding. The backup withholding rate as of 2024 is 24 percent of the income paid. The payers who didn’t receive W-9 will withhold this rate of tax and forward it to the Internal Revenue Service.
