At CUR8, we take platform security seriously and carefully review all organizations that sign up to use our service. The W9 form helps us identify customers and confirm their status as legitimate organizations. It's a requirement from the IRS that we collect a W9 from anyone we do business with.
Your W9 should match the name of the organization you used to create your CUR8 account. Once you've provided that document, we can update your organization name to match your W9.
- A blank W9 form can be downloaded from the IRS website here.
- You can submit a PDF of your W9 to support@CUR8.com.
- We cannot pay out your event without a W9 on file.
- For our Canadian market, you are not required to provide a W9. Please reach out to support@cur8.com for further questions.
Please note all companies (us) are required to supply their clients (you), including tax-exempt and nonprofits, that exceeded $600 USD with a 1099-K annually.
- This is a common IRS reporting document and is not a tax bill.
- The 1099-K form reports gross credit card sales. If at any time you exceed $600 USD, we will be required to have your W9 so we can supply the 1099-K. If you do not exceed these totals, no 1099-K is required.
- Learn more about the 1099-K form.
Failure to provide a W9 will delay payments and may cause IRS backup withholding to occur.
