Individual vs Business The Tax Department in WL reviews any tax codes payments to individuals and partnership.
Corporate entities are normally handled through Accounts Payable.
An LLC is a Limited Liability Company. A company with such a designation could file its tax return as a sole proprietor, partnership or corporation.
If the Substitute W-9 indicates an individual/sole proprietor is being paid, a Payee Certification Form would have to be completed.
If a W-9 indicates a business is a partnership, a Payee Certification Form would not be needed.
If a W-9 indicates an entity is a corporation (S or C), a Payee Certification is not required.
An individual may use their Social Security Number or their Employer Identification Number (EIN).
If a W-9 indicates an entity is an LLC, the Payee must indicate the code (C,P or S) in Section 3 of the form. If a W-9 is provided by the Payee then no form needs to be supplied to them. The Payee should have this form on file in their office.
