Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a
resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person
requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:
1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are
waiting for a number to be issued),
2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or
3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S.
exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a
U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from
a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on
foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (defined below).
A person who is required to file an information return with the
IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN)
to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate
transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or
abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to
request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is
substantially similar to this Form W-9.
● An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
● A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
States,
● An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are
considered a U.S. person if you are:
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a
trade or business in the United States are generally required to
pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income
from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9
has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that
a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax.
Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a
partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States,
provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S.
status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership
income.
The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for
purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding
on its allocable share of net income from the partnership
conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the
following cases:
● The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless
otherwise noted.
● A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section
301.7701-7).
Limited liability company. Enter the tax classification (D=disregarded entity, C=corporation, P=partnership)
