March 2024)  \nRequest for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification  \nDepartment of the Treasury  \nInternal Revenue Service  \nSection references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.  \nFuture Developments  \nFor the latest developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, [go to](go to IRS.gov/FormW9)[ ](go to IRS.gov/FormW9)[IRS.gov/FormW9](go to IRS.gov/FormW9) .  \nWhat’s New  \nLine 3a. We clarified that a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is a disregarded entity should fill out line 3a by checking the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner in the first row on line 3a. We also added guidance that provides clarity for disregarded entities completing lines 1 and 2. For proper processing, information for disregarded entities is reported asthe owner’s name on line 1, and the disregarded entity’s name is entered on line 2.  \nFor an LLC that is not disregarded, line 3a has a single box to check and available entry space for the LLC to notate the proper tax classification as corporation, S corporation, or partnership (C, S, or P) .  \nWe updated the Note in line 3a to emphasize this distinction for LLCs.  \nLine 3b. A new line has been added for partnerships (including limited liability companies (LLCs) classified as partnerships for U.S. federal tax purposes), trusts, or estates to indicate if they have foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when providing this form to a flow-through entity in which it owns an interest. This change provides the flow-through entity with information regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting requirements.  \nYou are only required to verify that the box on line 3b has been properly checked if you are a flow-through entity that is otherwise required to obtain a new Form W-9 from your partner, owner, or beneficiary. You may rely on the information provided on line 3b unless you know that it is incorrect. If line 3b is completed (or if it has not been completed and you know that this is incorrect), you may be required to report on Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065) or otherwise provide the relevant information to your partner, owner, or beneficiary. See Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065) .  \nWithholding and reporting under sections 1446(a) and (f) starting in 2023. Section 1446(f), added by P.L. 115-97, section 13501, enacted new rules for withholding on the transfer of a partnership interest.  \nIn general, section 1446(f) applies to transfers of partnership interests occurring on or after January 1, 2018. However, certain withholding provisions of section 1446(f) apply to transfers after 2022, including:  \n• Transfers of interests in publicly traded partnerships (PTPs) under section 1446(f);  \n• Distributions made by PTPs (PTP distributions); and  \n• Partnership withholding under section 1446(f)(4) on distributions to transferees of non-PTP interests that failed to properly withhold under section 1446(f) .  \nThe portion of the section 1446(a) regulations relating to withholding and reporting on distributions made by PTPs was expanded to allow certain additional entities to act as nominees for PTP distributions.  \nFor applicability dates for certain regulations under sections 1446(a) and (f), see Notice 2021-51, available at [IRS.gov/irb/](IRS.gov/irb/)[ ](IRS.gov/irb/)[2021-36_IRB\\#NOT-2021-51](2021-36_IRB#NOT-2021-51.)[.](2021-36_IRB#NOT-2021-51.)  \nUpdated qualified intermediary (QI) agreement. The QI withholding agreement, entered into by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and certain foreign persons under Regulations section 1. 1441-1(e), and outlined in Rev. Proc. 2017-15, expired December 31, 2022. New QI guidance effective January 1, 2023, was published in Rev.
