Even though the IRS has revised the W-9 form again (the latest version dated October 2018), Accounts Payable (AP) professionals know that the form needs to be collected in order to add a new vendor or in some scenarios, to update existing vendors. And, according to a recent survey by an AP Solutions company, more than two-thirds of AP professionals are validating the Legal Name and Tax ID on the W-9 by performing an IRS TIN Match.
What’s more, vendors know the IRS Form W-9 is a requirement. They will provide and even prepare in advance anticipating the ask.
So why would your company want to take advantage of the IRS acceptance to develop and use your own Substitute Form W-9? Listen to find out.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
