Why do I have to upload a W-9?
Jefferson County requires a taxpayer identification number (TIN) in order to register your company as a vendor. It may be either an employer identification number (EIN) issued by the IRS, or your social security number. If you receive payment from the County, your tax ID number will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service for federal tax withholding purposes. Failure to provide a tax ID number may result in: (a) federal tax backup withholding; (b) withholding of payment by the County; and/or (c) disqualification from participating in County contracts. For information on obtaining an EIN, go to the link listed below:
