The college is required by law to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN) from every business entity to whom we make payments. Without a completed W-9 on file, we cannot create a purchase order or issue a payment. If your TIN is your Social Security Number, please see the college's Notice of Collection, Use, and Release of SSNs.

W-9 Instructions

Form W-9 is a legal tax document and must be completed according to IRS instructions. Incomplete W-9s are not valid. (Foreign companies must use .)

• Line 1 is for the legal business name, not the name of the individual completing the form. 
• Line 2 is only required if there is a Doing Business As name for the business. If none, leave blank.
• Line 3 is required. Select one of the check boxes in 3a (and 3b if applicable).
• Line 5 is the mailing address. All correspondence will be mailed to this address unless otherwise specified in the Supplier Information Packet.
• DO NOT provide both a Social Security Number and an Employer Identification number. It must be one or the other.
• W-9s must be signed by an authorized representative of the business, either by hand or with a secure electronic signature. Stamps and image signatures are not secure.

Supplier Packet Instructions
