Why does the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ require TIN for New Supplier Records:

PAYMENT TO SUPPLIERS

In its effort to streamline processes and to ensure continued compliance with certain , the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ will now require departments to register new suppliers through PaymentWorks.  PaymentWorks will securely collect TIN and Banking information for these new records. 

 All new suppliers (established businesses and non-employees) who submit invoices for payment, including payments for honorariums, must supply be sent an invitation by a department initiator to register.  

 REASONS FOR THIS REQUIREMENT:

1. The W-9/W-8 ensures that the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ has the payee’s correctly spelled name and correct mailing address for purposes of 1099 reporting.
2. The W-9/W-8 ensures that the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ has a business’s legal name and Doing Business As (DBA) name.
3. The W-9/W-8 ensures that the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ has a payee’s correct Tax Identification Number (FEIN or SSN).

If payment is for REFUND purposes, a W-9/W-8 is not required.
