Why do I need to submit a W-9?
In accordance with U.S. federal tax regulations, we require all customers to submit a completed W-9 form before we can process redemptions that are a cumulative total of $600 or more.
The W-9 form is used to verify your identity and ensure we have the correct information on file for tax reporting purposes.
We recommend contacting a qualified accountant or tax attorney for any questions about tax filing.
