I'm surprised that someone would pay money for an app to fill out IRS Form W-9. It's a very simple form available via PDF and you only have to fill it out once.

There is no need to re-create the form with a new date if nothing has changed. I routinely give out the W-9 I created 15 years ago, with that date. The form does not get filed with the IRS, it's just for the payer's files.

- PopAlongKid 2y agoThat may be true with large vendors, but not for the reason you state. As you can see at the following link, the form has only been revised 3 times in the last 10 years. https://www.irs.gov/prior-year-forms-and-instructions?find=form%20W-9&items_per_page=200 https://www.irs.gov/prior-year-forms-and-instructions?find=f...
