Information Regarding Form W-9: Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification

IRS Form W-9 is often used by individuals and business entities to certify their US Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), and their status as a "US person" including US-based business entities.

Outside parties often request written certification of the university's legal name and federal Taxpayer Identification Number.  We typically fulfill these requests by providing the requester with a signed copy of IRS Form W-9, completed with UC's data.

Vendors and suppliers may download a copy of UC's Form W-9 (2023). This copy contains the mailing address of the Office of the Treasurer. If you would like a signed W-9 but would like to fill in your department's address, please contact the Office of the Treasurer at (513) 556-4510.
