<br />Future developments. The IRS has created a page on IRS.gov for information
<br />about Form W-9, at www.insgov/w9. Information about any future developments
<br />affecting Form W-9 (such as legislation enacted after we release it) will be posted
<br />on that page.
<br />Purpose of Form

<br />correct taxpayer Identification number (TIN) to report, for example, Income paid to
<br />you, payments made to you In settlement of payment card and third party network
<br />transactions, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or
<br />abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made
<br />to an IRA.
<br />Use Form W-9 only If you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to
<br />provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when
<br />applicable, to:
<br />1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number
<br />to be Issued),
<br />2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or
<br />3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If
<br />applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of
<br />any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the
<br />withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and
<br />4. Certify that FATCA codes) entered on this form (If any) indicating that you are

<br />Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form

<br />similar to this Form W-9.
<br />Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S.
<br />person if you are:
<br />• An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
<br />• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized In the
<br />United States or under the laws of the United States,
<br />• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
<br />• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
<br />Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business In
<br />the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section
<br />1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from
<br />such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received,
<br />the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner Is a
<br />foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a
<br />U.S. person that Is a partner In a partnership conducting a trade or business in the
<br />United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status
<br />and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.
