Can someone explain to me what it is? I'm reading the W9 right now and it seems to contradict itself a couple times when you ARE exempt and when you aren't.
"You will not be subject to backup witholding on payments you recieve if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return."
Okay. Check. Why does Google still "withold" money from me then? I've gotten checks but so far they owe me about $50 in money they witheld for some reason I don't even know. And when I messaged them about it they don't respond...
Then the form goes on to say this,
"Generally, individuals(including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup witholding"
Why? But you just said!
Anyway, I want to figure this out before I send it into Azoogle and THAT gets messed up too.
