As of Jan. 1, 2008, departments will be required to submit a W-9 form when requesting that a new payee be set up for a payment authorization.
The department processing the payment should submit the completed W-9 form (PDF) to Disbursements. The W-9 form must be certified by the payee (taxpayer) but can be a copy of the original.
Note: Until further notice, this requirement does not apply to new vendors being set up for purchase orders.
The IRS requires a W-9 form to certify the taxpayer ID number, type of taxpayer (individual, partnership, or corporation), and their status as non-profit, exempt, etc. W-9s are required for payees who will receive payment subject to reportable income on the IRS 1099 form. Examples of reportable transactions include:
- Rent
- Royalties
- Medical and health care payments (including corporations)
- Prizes and awards
- Research subjects
- Blood donors
- Professional services
- Entertainers
- Honorariums
- Guest lecturers
- Attorney fees
