Why is an IRS W-9 form important before paying a contractor or vendor?
An IRS W-9 form helps businesses collect the legal name, taxpayer identification number, and tax classification of a contractor, freelancer, or vendor before making payments. This information is needed for accurate 1099 reporting, but it also helps avoid payment delays, mismatched tax records, and compliance issues later.
