When submitting a W-9 form, please ensure that the information appears exactly as it would appear on your tax return. If the information submitted by you on the W-9 form does not match up with the IRS database, Associated Content will be notified in writing by the IRS. At this point, we will contact you and require you to submit another W-9 form. Civil and criminal penalties may be imposed by the IRS for falsifying information on the W-9 form. For more information, please read the “Penalties” section on page two of the W-9 form.
