When Should I Update My Tax Form?

Created by Christine Rico, Modified on Fri, 23 May at 5:23 PM by Christine Rico

It’s a good idea to update your W-8 or W-9 form if any of the following apply:


  • Your name or business name has changed

  • Your federal tax classification (e.g., LLC, sole proprietor) has changed

  • You’ve moved to a new address

  • You’ve received a new Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN)

  • You’re updating info for the new tax year
