FAQ’s
What
is the IBAN?
The IBAN (International Bank Account Number) is used to uniquely identify a customer’s account held at a bank. It is a series of
alpha numeric characters that includes the bank account number and can be up to 34 characters long. Not all countries require an
IBAN. This is generally used for European countries.
What is intermediary bank and when is it necessary?
An intermediary bank is a large bank that serves on behalf of the beneficiary bank. In most cases, it has a relationship with a
smaller bank to assist in receiving foreign currency. This is necessary when US dollars are being sent to a small bank in a third-world
country. The intermediary bank exchanges the funds into foreign currency in order for the smaller bank to accept the wire transfer.
If your banking instructions provide an intermediary bank name, account numbers, and SWIFT code/ABA, please include that
information on the wire transfer request form.

related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted
after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9.
Purpose of Form
An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an
information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer
identification number (TIN) which may be your social security number
(SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption
taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number
(EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other
amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information
returns include, but are not limited to, the following.
• Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid)
• Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual
funds)
• Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross
proceeds)
• Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other
transactions by brokers)
• Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions)
• Form 1099-K (merchant card and third party network transactions)
• Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest),
1098-T (tuition)
• Form 1099-C (canceled debt)
• Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property)
Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident
alien), to provide your correct TIN.
If you do not return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might
be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding,
later.
Cat. No. 10231X
Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)
Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)
Page 2
By signing the filled-out form, you:
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, and
4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating
that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is
FATCA reporting, later, for further information.
Note: If you are a U.S. person and 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.
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are
considered a U.S. person if you are:
• 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
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or
business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding
tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively
connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases
where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446
require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and
pay the section 1446 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 section 1446 withholding on your share of
partnership income.
In the cases below, the following person must give 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.
• In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner
of the disregarded entity and not the entity;
• In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner,
generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and
not the trust; and
• In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust
(other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.
Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a
foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use
Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see
Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign
Entities).
Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a
nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce
or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax
treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions
specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to
continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise
become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.
If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception
contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption
from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement
to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items.
1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under
which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.
2. The treaty article addressing the income.
3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the
saving clause and its exceptions.
4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption
from tax.
5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of
the treaty article.
Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an
exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese
student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this
student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in
the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of
the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows
the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese
student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese
student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first
protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax
on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form
W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to
support that exemption.
If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the
appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.
Backup Withholding
What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you
must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such
payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be
subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest,
dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties,
nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and
third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat
operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup
withholding.
You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you
receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper
certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your
tax return.
Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:
1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,
2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for
Part II for details),
3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,
4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding
because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax
return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or
5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to
backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend
accounts opened after 1983 only).
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding.
See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the
Requester of Form W-9 for more information.
Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.
What is FATCA Reporting?
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a
participating foreign financial institution to report all United States
account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain
payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA
reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form
W-9 for more information.
Updating Your Information
You must provide updated information to any person to whom you
claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee
and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this
person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if
you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no
longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if
the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a
grantor trust dies.
Penalties
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a
requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure
unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you
make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no
backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.
Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)
Page 3
Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties
including fines and/or imprisonment.
Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of
federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
Specific Instructions
Line 1
You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line
blank. The name should match the name on your tax return.
If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account
maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then
circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in
Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document
a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must
provide a Form W-9.
a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If
you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security
Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last
name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.
Note: ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on
your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the
name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your
application.
b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual
name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter
your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2.
c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C
corporation, or S corporation. Enter the entity's name as shown on the
entity's tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on
line 2.
d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal
tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the
charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any
business, trade, or DBA name on line 2.
e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is
disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a
“disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter
the owner's name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1
should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the
name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be
reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded
entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S.
person, the U.S. owner's name is required to be provided on line 1. If
the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first
owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the
disregarded entity's name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity
name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the
owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9.
This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.
Line 2
If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded
entity name, you may enter it on line 2.
Line 3

apply to persons submitting this form for accounts maintained outside
of the United States by certain foreign financial institutions. Therefore, if
you are only submitting this form for an account you hold in the United
States, you may leave this field blank. Consult with the person
requesting this form if you are uncertain if the financial institution is
subject to these requirements. A requester may indicate that a code is
not required by providing you with a Form W-9 with “Not Applicable” (or
any similar indication) written or printed on the line for a FATCA
exemption code.

this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee
code should be completed.
Line 5
Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number).
This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information
returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on
file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a
chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your
address in their records.
Line 6
Enter your city, state, and ZIP code.
Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and
you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social
security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN
below.
If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either
your SSN or EIN.
If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity
separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has
one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as
a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.
Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for
further clarification of name and TIN combinations.
How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately.
To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security
Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at
www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213.
Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer
Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN
online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and
clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a
Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form
W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to
place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10
business days.
If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply
for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date
the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend
payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable
instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to
the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on
payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments.
You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until
you provide your TIN to the requester.
Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a
TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.
Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use
the appropriate Form W-8.
Part II. Certification
To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or
resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the
withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.
For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I
should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the
person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see
Exempt payee
code,
earlier.
Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in
items 1 through 5 below.

certification before signing the form.
3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may
cross out item 2 of the certification.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft
Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information
such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your
permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use
your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive
a refund.
To reduce your risk:
• Protect your SSN,
• Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and
• Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.
If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a
notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number
printed on the IRS notice or letter.
If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you
think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable
credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline
at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.
For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for
Taxpayers.
Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a
systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that
have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for
Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by
calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD
1-800-829-4059.
Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes.
Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to
mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act
is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established
legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering
private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the
IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask
taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access
information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.
If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS,
forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse
of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector
General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can
forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at
spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can
contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338).
