W-9 Requirement

The University must obtain certain information about the tax status of our vendors as required by Internal Revenue Service regulations. To meet those requirements, a completed Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) must be on file for all vendors, with the following exceptions:

Payments to USI employees
Direct refunds of income
Payments to foreign persons (including nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, foreign trusts, foreign estates, and any other person that is not a U.S. person as defined by the IRS)*

IRS Form W-9 is available at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf?portlet=3

*Instead of Form W-9, these payments require completion of the appropriate Form W-8.
