New W-9s

While I appreciate those companies I'm signing up with providing a W-9 for me to complete, I have noticed that the I.R.S. has revised the form. The current W-9 is dated December 2011, and has some changes which would affect those of us who are using TINs for our business.

I've downloaded and completed the new W-9, and will use it when completing my sign-up packages. It can be found at www.IRS.gov.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I keep a filled out copy on my desktop, so when I get a request, I just have to print it out (or find one that I've previously signed and scanned).

I know what an EIN is. I know what an SSN is. I know what a TinTin is. I know what a Rin TinTin is. I know what a Tin Man is. I know what a tin ear is. I know what 10 Lords aleaping are. I know what the 10 Commandments are, though I have to admit much of the time I treat them as the 10 Suggestions for Alternative Behavior. I know what a 10-4 is. I know what a 1099 is. But what, pray tell me, is a TIN?

"But what, pray tell me, is a TIN?"

Taxpayer Identification Number - for those who don't have an SSN.

As for why they don't have an SSN - well, you do the math...

I could be wrong, but I always thought it was a generic term that could include either a SSN or an EIN. The only place I can think of where I regularly see a TIN referred to is on those infernal Certification of Trust forms, where people are always asking "pray tell, what is a TIN?" (or words to that effect...) Wink

A Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is an identification number used by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the administration of tax laws.

Taxpayer Identification Numbers
<li type="disc">Social Security Number "SSN" </li>
<li type="disc">Employer Identification Number "EIN" </li>
<li type="disc">Individual Taxpayer Identification Number "ITIN" </li>
<li type="disc">Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions "ATIN" </li>
<li type="disc">Preparer Taxpayer Identification Number "PTIN" </li>

I don't see any major changes. The only thing I see is the

addition of a couple of classifications for S-Corp or trust/estate. I'm sure using the old one will be fine.
