Does UpWork Issue W9?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:50 pm

The short answer is no, UpWork does not issue W9 forms.

UpWork is a freelancing platform that allows businesses to connect with independent contractors from all over the world. Because UpWork is based online, it doesn’t have the same regulations as traditional brick-and-mortar businesses.

This means that UpWork doesn’t issue W9 forms to its contractors.

PRO TIP: If you are an independent contractor working with Upwork, you may be asked to complete a W9 form. This is a tax form that provides your Social Security number or taxpayer identification number to Upwork. It is important to note that Upwork does not issue W9 forms. You will need to complete this form and submit it to Upwork yourself.

So, if you’re doing work for a client through UpWork, don’t expect to receive a W9 form from them. However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t provide your Social Security number or other tax information to the client.

The client may still need this information in order to issue you a 1099-MISC form at the end of the year.

Conclusion

In conclusion, no, UpWork does not issue W9 forms.
