BCHW Form W-9 Instructions

An IRS Form W-9 is required from anyone before any non-business/independent contractor type payments are made.  The chapter is responsible for obtaining the W-9 from each person before making any payment to or requesting an reimbursement from BCHW.    

Form W-9 is a request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.  The IRS Form W-9 is used to obtain the Social Security number or Federal Employer Tax ID number from a person or independent contractor (also called freelancers).  This is most often for the purposes of issuing them an annual Form 1099-MISC for any contract payments made by BCHW.   For BCHW, a W-9 is needed before any payments are made to anyone for things like stock packing, any other for non-business equipment operating or renting expenses or any other independent worker supplied services.  A Form 1099-MISC will be issued by BCHW for any relationships where more than $600 for labor and services paid in a calendar year.  

BCHW requires a new W-9 every year for anyone providing packing services or other relevant services before reimbursements are made from BCHW.
