The W9 form is an important document for businesses that use UpWork to hire workers. UpWork requires all businesses using its platform to complete and submit the W9 form to their payroll provider.

The W9 form is used to report the financial details of a worker to their employer. This includes the name, address, social security number, and other important information.

PRO TIP: If you are not sure what a W9 form is, do not submit one to Upwork. A W9 form is an IRS document that is used to request your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). Upwork does not need your TIN and submitting a W9 form may put your account at risk.

The W9 form is also used to report the wages paid to a worker by their employer. This includes the amount of money earned, the taxes paid on that income, and any other deductions that were made.

The W9 form is a crucial document for businesses that use UpWork to hire workers. By completing and submitting the W9 form to their payroll provider, businesses can ensure that their workers are properly documented and paid their correct wages.
