W-9 form

[7e58b12c]

I'm looking for some guidance. I am new to Upwork and will fill out the W-9, but I keep getting an Error 404 when clicking the link. Additionally, does anyone know where I can get a TIN? Do I need to get a business license?

Thanks for the information. There's a lot to learn; I just want to make sure I'm doing things correctly.
