How to Prepare W-9

The best way to prepare a Form W-9 is to fill out the W-9 on the IRS website and then save it to your computer.

1. Open Form W-9
2. Enter your info in lines 1-7
3. Enter your SSN or EIN
4. Download the form
5. Name the form using the name on line 1
   • Example: Jane Doe W-9
6. Return to previous page to upload the form

The process is similar for Form W8-BEN.
