A really late request for a W9 I'm a graphic design, a sole proprietor. I did some work for a client last February (2015). Just this week I got a request from her for a w9, her accountant asked for it while filing her taxes.
But now that the 1099 January deadline has passed, and I won't be getting a 1099 from her, it makes me a little nervous to send her a w9 now. Because I won't be able to see the amount she is reporting. And she is kind of scatterbrained, so I don't necessarily trust her to report the accurate amount. I know if what she and I report differ, that's a red flag.
Am I required to send her a w9 this late? |
