Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal advice?
No. We provide an administrative review to ensure your form is complete and consistent (e.g., checking that your Name matches your Tax ID format). We do not provide legal or tax advice.
Do you file my W-9 with the IRS?
No. Form W-9 is never sent to the IRS by itself. You must submit the completed form directly to the person or company (the "requester") who asked for it.
Do I need an EIN to fill out a W-9?
Not necessarily. If you are a sole proprietor or independent contractor, you can often use your Social Security Number (SSN). We help you determine which ID is appropriate based on your business structure.
How fast is the review?
Standard review takes 1–2 business days. If you select Priority at checkout, we review your form within hours (same day).
