<br />General instructions
<br />Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless
<br />otherwise noted.
<br />Purpose of Form
<br />A person who is required to file an information return with the
<br />IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN)
<br />to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate
<br />transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or
<br />abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or
<br />contributions you made to an IRA.
<br />Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a
<br />resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person
<br />requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:
<br />1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are
<br />waiting for a number 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.
<br />exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a
<br />U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from
<br />a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on
<br />foreign partners' share of effectively connected income.
<br />Note. if a requester gives you a farm other than Form W-9 to
<br />request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is
<br />substantially similar to this Form W-9.
<br />Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are
<br />considered a U.S, 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
<br />organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
<br />States,
<br />• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
<br />• A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section
<br />301.7701-7).
<br />Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a
<br />trade or business in the United States are generally required to
<br />pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income
<br />from such business, Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9
<br />has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that
<br />a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax.
<br />Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a
<br />partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States,
<br />provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S.
<br />status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership
<br />Income.
<br />The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for
<br />purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding
<br />on its allocable share of net income from the partnership
<br />conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the
<br />following cases:
<br />• The U.S, owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,
