When you provide contractor services to a new client, you will need to provide them with a W-9 form for their tax records. As a Found user, you can create and securely share your W-9 with your client directly from your Found account. Here’s how:
Select the Settings icon and choose Tax tools from the menu.
Choose W-9 sharing to manage your W-9.
Select Edit to adjust your tax classification, business name use, tax identifier, address, and signature.
Tap the Share button to share your W-9 with a client. You can share your W-9 via email or SMS.
Alternatively, tap Export and verify the code sent to your phone number. You’ll receive a PDF of your W-9 that you can download for your records.
Shared W-9s will automatically expire two weeks after the 1099 filing deadline. You can revoke access to your W-9 at any time from your Found app by navigating to the Manage W-9 page and clicking Manage who can view.
For more on the W-9 form, visit our resource center.
