W-9 form - not an employee
W-9 form - not an employee
(OP)
I wrote up some material that a company used for advertising. They want me to fill out a W-9 form. I am confused some about this because they bought a product from me not me selling my time to them. Can someone explain why they would do this? I don't pull a W-9 when plumber comes and fixes something for me or when I buy a software package.
RE: W-9 form - not an employee
Thats because most of them are corporations. If you pay more than $600 to any non-corporate entity for services rendered, you have to give them a 1099. To give them a 1099, you need a W-9. At least that's my understanding - check with a CPA to be sure.
