So everyone wants a w9 now wtf?
 

I am not sure about you guys but every sponsor that is sending these emails I am dropping. Besides of course a few :thumbsup

sounds like someone is dodging.

why would you drop them?
you are from chicago
you need to pay taxes
dumbass

I know what you mean, sending them a w9 by mail or fax does suck.

give a break i have been here and around for years nothing to hide

lol ok you send over 100 faxes to these guys that already have or soc's and tons of other info.

yep i am being really shady ...

I can and do and have done it for years. Now they are all demanding I send them this. :)

I noticed the same thing this morning. I've gotten more this year than every other year combined. I have no problem with it, its regular paperwork required when you run a business, just sort of odd.

Listen obviously I am not dropping eveyone but I think it has gotten a bit out of hand. All I do know is that there a quite a few major sponsors that have never asked for this info ...

Well, it really is pretty common.

Hey do you still have any wallpaper or screen saver sites? If so could you please hit me up. Thanks.

I can see how sending 100 faxes would suck. But providing SSN through affil admin of the program is also good enough. As long as I have that info, QuickBooks will do the rest for me.

There was supposed to be a :winkwink: in there.

Thank you that was my overall point but everyone wants to jump the gun and think I am being out of line by asking this.

If it is law for them to have this info why do only certain companies ask for this info?

Thanks bro always liked yah and not trying come of mean sorry about that. I am just a bit frustrated that they all want this now. What about 5 years ago or when I signed up.

If it is how it is I will have to adjust but I just don't like the prospect anyways we all need to vent just a little bit :)

Yep if I have to do it will for most sponsors that I need. However the other ones am not going to take the time. Problem is I am thinking very soon they will want the drivers licence as well it has already happened from what I remember reading here at some point ...

One thing to consider is I would imagine companies are trying much harder these days to have ALL paperwork up to code. It would really suck to get investigated for porn related stuff and come off clean only to get busted for tax stuff.

Yes good point as well. I am just wondering is it an actual law that the companies need a w9 or is soc enough? If it is why don't the some of the big guys ask for this info?

It scares me the reps prob have access to some of this info; I think even soc in a way is pushing it.

On another note why not just add the w9 into the sign up form if it is legally required or does it have to be faxed or mailed?

They already have our tax id number's what do they need this shit for......

I am not sending shit out to any of them, fuck em..

Ok, ok... But what's about non-US webmasters? Do they need to fill the W9 form? What for???

I gotta find my damn fax machine.

non us webmasters dont have to do shit yet :upsidedow

all mainstream sponsors want w9s :( i hate doing taxes

They are copying us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a way to do this online or has to be faxed or mailed?

I was not saying that I am not sending in any w9 forms and would not have a problem sending when asked by your company.

I guess the main point I want to know is the above question as it seems when I signed up for one sponsor they had the w9 form online.

Thanks :)

Glad Im living in nomansland

I have seen two or three sponsores who have it dialed in online. I think Traffic Cash Gold is one of them.

I agree with it being scary to send info to some companies. There are a lot of companies on the board that hire shady guys who you can't trust.

My suggestion would be to get a tax ID for all your stuff. You can do it immediately online on the department of revenue website. Use that instead of your SS# for all your business.

Yep will hit you up on icq :)

Thanks for the info :)

good question wtf????

not "all" sponsors are doing that yet
