If you have your own business or work as an independent contractor, freelancer, or gig worker (in other words, self-employed), a client may request that you fill out and send a W-9 so they can accurately prepare your 1099-NEC form, report the payments they make to you at the end of the year and know whether or not you are subject to backup withholding.
