The free W-9
Fill the official IRS Form W-9 and sign it with a typed signature or leave the line blank. Always free.
Form W-9 gives a payer your name, address and taxpayer ID number (SSN or EIN) so they can file a 1099 for you. The W-9 builder fills the current IRS form (Rev. March 2024).
- Only line 1 (your name) is required; leave anything that doesn't apply blank.
- Individuals usually give their SSN; businesses their EIN. It must match the name on line 1.
- Sign with a typed signature drawn in a script font, or choose to leave the line blank and sign the printout by hand.
- Your PDF is page 1 only. The IRS instructions pages are left out.
W-9s are always free and never ask you to pay. Because the W-9 holds a full SSN or EIN, we don't save it to your history.
