My company needs W9 from Upwork for the money we have paid to Upwork

Please read below and escalate my ticket to someone that can provide me with your W9.

Upwork is a vendor and I am paying Upwork for services. Therefore I need Upwork's W-9 form, formally titled “Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.

 

---
This is direct from the IRS website......

A vendor will give you his taxpayer identification number, address and business name, and will certify he is not subject to backup withholding when he sends you a W-9 form, formally titled “Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification."

 

The Internal Revenue Service requires that you obtain W-9 forms when you make inventory and service purchases from a vendor to create a paper trail that allows the agency to catch vendors who do not report income and to prevent you from claiming illegitimate vendor expenses.

The IRS requires that you obtain a W-9 from every vendor from whom you purchase $600 in labor and services or $5,000 in direct sales, but you can request W-9s from vendors for smaller purchases.
---

 

My company can not claim a legitimate vendor expenses for the money we have paid Upwork without a W9.

Please send me your W9 asap or my company will not be using Upwork in the future.

 

I have already sumbitted an email and they refuse to send me Upwork's W9. At this point, this is an urgent matter. I have attched the exact form that I need. So please supply me with your W9.

As stated by others in this chain, the W9 request is apart of the process for the university i work for and they will need it in order to start Upwork as a vendor and for us to make payments to your company.

With so many people asking the same question, why can't UpWork provide a response that will address it in this forum? In the meantime, please contact me directly but this should not be so difficult.

I need to receive a W9 from Upwork for the work that my company has paid to Upwork for work done by free lancers.  We will need to send a 1099 form to Upwork for that amount for 2018 payments.  Please give this urgent attention, as 1099 forms are due by 01/31/19.

Hi Simone,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. We'll contact you directly via a support ticket and further assist you with your request.

 

Edited:

Simone, please refer to this help article for more information on when Upwork is able to send tax forms. In this case we won't be able to do it.

Hello!

I will be needing a w9 as well to file my taxes. Can someone please get in contact with me?

Hi Jihan, 

I wanted to clarify if you were referring to Form 1099K instead of a W9? Please know that the Form 1099K is only sent out to eligible freelancers. You may read this help article here, and here for more information about reporting your income from Upwork.

Hi

 

We have still not been contacted re the W9. If someone does not sort this out, we won't be able to do business with Upwork.

 

This is my third request for a W9.
