Form W-9 for renters

[Yan Kang]

Dear BP experts,

Sorry to bother you with this, but I do need BP experts’ help in understanding the cons of providing a W-9 Form to renters.

I just got a request from my renter asking for a W9 Form for Covid-19 Impact Assistance application. I think I would support their application but am wondering what the negative sides would be from providing a W-9 Form to the renter.

What do you guys suggest? Any experience providing a Form W-9 to renters?

Any inputs would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Yan
