What’s new about W-9 2020?

Still, any financial institution should report to the IRS about each payment made to the contractor. Nothing has changed in the form contents: it should contain all the necessary details such as name, address, SSN or TIN. The only difference is that due to the current situation this year the form can be submitted later.

New Deadlines

All the income taxes filing deadlines are extended to July 15, 2020. The contractor won’t be charged any interest during the extension period. But after this day the system of penalties may be introduced.

How to claim the extension?

This process is automatic, the taxpayers aren’t required to act. However, the state authorities may notify both parties of the transaction about the deadlines of the paperwork to be completed. If the extended deadline has been missed, some penalties may be imposed on the taxpayer.
