GetW9: Simplifying W-9 Collection and Vendor Tax Compliance

GetW9 is a vendor compliance tool designed to streamline the collection, validation, and storage of W-9 forms. It helps businesses gather required tax information from vendors and contractors in a secure, structured way—before year-end reporting begins.

For accounting and operations teams, GetW9 removes one of the most time-consuming parts of 1099 preparation: chasing vendors for missing or incorrect W-9s.

What Is GetW9?

GetW9 provides a digital workflow for requesting, collecting, and storing W-9 forms. Instead of emailing PDFs back and forth or relying on paper forms, businesses can send electronic W-9 requests and maintain a centralized record of vendor tax information.

This proactive approach supports compliance from the moment a vendor relationship begins.

What GetW9 Provides

GetW9 allows businesses to:

• Send electronic W-9 requests to vendors

• Collect completed forms securely

• Validate taxpayer information

• Store W-9s in an organized, searchable system

• Maintain documentation for audit and compliance purposes

These features reduce manual handling and improve data accuracy.

Key Benefits

The primary benefit of GetW9 is preventative compliance. By collecting W-9s early, businesses avoid delays and errors during 1099 season.

Additional benefits include:

• Faster vendor onboarding

• Reduced follow-ups and manual tracking

• Fewer missing or incomplete forms

• Cleaner year-end workflows

Why GetW9 Is Valuable for Business Operations

W-9 collection often becomes urgent only when 1099 deadlines approach. GetW9 shifts this process into everyday operations, helping teams build compliance into vendor management rather than treating it as a seasonal task.

For businesses working with multiple contractors or vendors, this structured approach significantly reduces operational stress and risk.
