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.
Solved! Go to Solution.

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.

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

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.
