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.

I am also looking for the Upwork W-9 so we can enter you in our system. This is required.

My company requires that any vendors fill out a registration form in order to claim vendor expenses on a W-9. How do I go about doing that?

Hello JC,

 

Here's a link to help you know how to file a Form W-9 in Upwork. Thank you!

Sorry if I there was a misunderstanding, but I am looking to hire someone. Usually vendors fill out a registration form with my company so that we can request their W-9 forms to write off expenses. How does this work in UpWork?

Hello JC,

 

I have escalated your concern. One of our representatives will get in touch with you shortly. Thank you.1

I am also a client looking to hire and need a W-9 from Upwork to proceed but I don't see anything on this. 

 

Thanks for your help with this!
