General Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise
noted.
Purpose of Form
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 contributions you made to -an IRA.
Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person Oncluding 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.
Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request
your TIN, you must use the requester's form K 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 (othetthen a foreign estate), or
• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct atrade or
business In the United States are generally required to pay a withholding
tax on any foreign partners' share of Income from sugh 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 to 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.
Cal. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)
Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)
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,
• The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust,
and
• The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of
the trust.
Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9.
Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 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 followling 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 not subject to backup
withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.
What Is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you
must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage
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, 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 Part it
instructions on page 3 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).
Page 2
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding.
See the Instructions below and the separate Instructions for the
Requester of Form W-9.
Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.
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 9
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.
