W-9 Manager & Automation Service

Why Automate W-9 Collection?

Manual paper forms create compliance risks. Move to a secure digital process.

The Manual Headache

Emailing PDFs back and forth is insecure and slow.
Illegible handwriting leads to name/TIN mismatches.
Storing paper forms in filing cabinets is a security risk.
Missing forms delay year-end 1099 filing.

IRS Enforcement Risk

The Cost of Non-Compliance

Failing to collect valid W-9s before payment can lead to severe financial penalties and administrative nightmares.

24%

Backup Withholding

If you lack a valid TIN, the IRS requires you to withhold 24% of all payments to that vendor immediately.

$330

Penalty Per Form

The penalty for filing a 1099 with an incorrect or missing TIN can be up to $330 per form (2025 Tax Year).

$660+

Intentional Disregard

If the IRS determines "intentional disregard" for rules, penalties start at $660 per form with no annual cap.

B-Notice Nightmare

Receiving a CP2100 Notice triggers a strict 15-day deadline to mail "B-Notices" to vendors or face further fines.
