How to Securely Share Your Own W-9 Form Using getW9
getW9 allows you to securely send your own IRS Form W-9 to clients, partners, or anyone who requests it — without emailing PDF attachments or handling paperwork manually.
Steps to Send Your Own W-9
- Go to Settings → My Companies or click the “My Companies” card on your dashboard.
- On the My Companies page, you’ll see all your existing entities listed in a grid.
- Click the green airplane icon ✈️ next to the company for which you want to send a W‑9.
- Enter the recipient’s name and email address to whom you want to send the W‑9.
- If it's your first time sending a W-9 for that company, you'll be guided through a 4-step process to generate your W‑9 securely inside the platform.
Note: For future W‑9 sends, you won’t need to repeat these steps — you can reuse the already created W‑9 for that company. - Once sent, the recipient will receive a secure, private link to view and download your W‑9.
Important: This link will automatically expire 60 minutes after the first access, ensuring privacy and security.

- More secure than sending your W‑9 as an email attachment
- No need to scan, upload, or generate PDFs externally
- Each request is audit-logged and tracked in your account
