Get Answers Support W-4/W-9/W-8 Form W-9 Request W-9 Do I need to request W-9 from contractors every year? Last modified 9/25/2023 1:56:03 AM EST You don’t have to request W-9 from contractors every year if submitted in the past years. It is required only when you onboard a new independent contractor/vendor in the tax year. The information they provide in W-9 will help you file your 1099s correctly with the IRS. Was this helpful?
