EXEMPT PAYEES SHOULD COMPLETE A SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 TO AVOID POSSIBLE ERRONEOUS
BACKUP WITHHOLDING. Furnish your taxpayer identification number, write "Exempt"
in Part II, sign and date the form and return it to the payer.
PRIVACY ACT NOTICE.--Section 6109 requires you to provide your correct taxpayer
identification number to payers who must report the payments to the IRS. The IRS
uses the numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of
your return and may also provide this information to the Department of Justice
for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of
Columbia to carry out their tax laws. Payers must be given the numbers whether
or not recipients are required to file tax returns. Payers must generally
withhold 31% of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a
payee who does not furnish a taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain
penalties may also apply.
PENALTIES
(1) FAILURE TO FURNISH TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.--If you fail to furnish
your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are subject to a penalty of
$50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not
to willful neglect.
(2) CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.--If you
make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup
withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.
(3) CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.--Willfully falsifying
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.
