We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Has the W9 form changed since 2018?

The last time the IRS revised Form W-9 was in October 2018. The earliest to take effect would be October 2023, meaning latest date to adopt would be May 1, 2024. The IRS published new instructions December 2023.

Does a W-9 form have to be dated?

docHub the form: In Part II, review the certification text carefully. If all the information is accurate, sign and date the form. Submit the form: Give your completed Form W-9 to the person or business that requested it. You dont send this form to the IRS, only to the payer.

Can non-US citizens use a W9?

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN. Caution: If you dont return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later.

When did W9 update?

In March 2024, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released a new revision to Form W-9. Forms W-9 previously provided or collected do not expire nor need to be refreshed due to the publication of the new revision.

Is the 2018 W-9 form still valid?

There is no transitional period like with Form W-8, so counterparties should discontinue accepting the previous version (Rev. October 2018) and start requiring the updated form. Previously collected Forms W-9 remain valid unless otherwise indicated by the IRS.
