Where can taxpayers find a blank W-9 form?

The Internal Revenue Service provides a blank W-9 form on its website. This version of the form can be filled out online and then saved to a hard drive or printed.

Form W-9 is a request for taxpayer information, and it may be used to gather personal information, including a Social Security Number, in cases of contract income, cancellation of debt or IRA contributions. The IRS provides additional information, including instructions, revisions and Spanish language forms.

Many other forms are available on the IRS website, including Form 1040 for individual tax returns, Form W-4 for employee withholding and Form 1099 for miscellaneous income.
