If you are an independent contractor or just work by yourself, then you need to fill one out. A W-9 form is just a form that company uses to get the taxpayer identification number. Mostly the form is sent to the independent contractors, consultants or any other self-employed workers.

If you are a self-employee individual, consultant, or independent contractor you may be asked to fill out a W-9 form. A W-9 form is simply a request for your tax payer identification number. This would either be your social security number (SSN) or your employer identification number (EIN) depending upon how your business is set up.
