Information on Form W-9 must match your Internal Revenue Service (IRS) records
To reduce the time you spend resolving claims or tax issues with Asuris, please accurately complete your Form W-9.
Be sure to follow these tips when completing the following fields on your Form W-9:
- "Name (as shown on your income tax return)": This name may not be your own personal name. This information must match what is shown on your income tax return.
- "Business name, if different from above": This should be your "doing business as (DBA)" name.
When submitting a Form W-9, you are certifying that the name and tax identification number (TIN) provided are correct and accurately match your IRS record.
Each year, the IRS notifies Asuris of provider names and TIN records that do not match IRS records. We are required by the IRS to submit backup withholding letters to each of these providers.
To learn more about backup withholding and to determine whether you are subject to backup withholding, please refer to the IRS Web site. The IRS' toll-free phone number for business tax questions is 1 (800) 829-4933. The Asuris Corporate Tax department is available at (503) 225-4817 to help answer your questions about the Form W-9.
