What is TaxBandits W-9/W-8 Hosted Page?

Last modified 5/2/2025 8:51:51 AM EST

The TaxBandits hosted W-9/W-8 page is a secure public URL generated for each payer, allowing their recipients to submit W-9 or W-8 forms online. It enables seamless form collection through a single link, reducing manual work and streamlining the process.

Best suited for

• Businesses or organizations collecting W-9/W-8 forms from multiple vendors, contractors, or payees.

• CPAs and tax professionals managing forms for several clients and their recipients.

• Enterprises that want to avoid repeated one-to-one form requests by using a centralized link.

• Nonprofits collecting W-9/W-8 forms from grant recipients, service providers, or contractors.

How it works

1. Automatic URL generation – When you add a payer in TaxBandits, a unique secure URL for the hosted W-9/W-8 page is automatically created.

2. Share the URL – You can share the hosted page link with recipients in several ways:

• Direct sharing – Send the link via email, SMS, or any preferred communication channel.

• Embed on your website or portal – Place the link within your company website or internal portal so recipients can access it easily.

• QR code access – Generate a QR code linked to the hosted page for quick mobile submissions, either shared digitally or printed.                                                 

3. Recipients submit forms online – Recipients access the link, complete their W-9/W-8, and submit securely without creating a TaxBandits account.

4. Track completions – All submissions are recorded in your TaxBandits W-9/W-8 Dashboard, so you can easily see who has completed their forms.

Customization

For a more branded experience, you can customize the hosted page URL to align with your branding. This helps make the link more recognizable and professional when sharing with recipients. Learn how to customize the hosted page URL
