FAQ
Does this draft decide that the person is an independent contractor?
No. The IRS uses behavioral control, financial control, and the type of relationship. A contract label does not settle that question, and state tests can differ.
Is this a Form W-9 or Form 1099-NEC?
No. Those are separate IRS forms. This page does not fill them in.
Which currency does it use?
United States dollars. The fee stays blank until you type it.
