do non-profits need to collect w9's?
Whenever it hires an independent contractor or third party entity, such as a nonprofit, it should request a completed version of this form from the party. The payer then keeps the form on file and uses the information on it at year-end to make its report to the IRS. Place the nonprofit's official name and address in the proper places at the top of the W-9 form, not the name or address of the person filing out the form. Leave the space marked âDBAâ blank unless the nonprofit is operating under a registered trade name.
