What Is Form W‑9S and Who Needs It?

Form W‑9S captures the name, address, and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) of a student or borrower. It is required when the institution must issue a 1098‑T (tuition statement) or 1098‑E (student loan interest) to the IRS. Both federal and private loan recipients may be asked to submit this form.

Common Mistakes to Avoid on Form W‑9S

• Incorrect TIN: Double‑check the Social Security Number or EIN; a typo will delay processing.
• Missing Signature: The form is not valid without a signed certification.
• Out‑of‑date Address: Use the current mailing address to ensure the 1098‑E or 1098‑T reaches the taxpayer.
• Leaving Part II Blank: Only leave it blank if the request is not for a loan.
