Why Does MoveZen Require a W9 from Property Owners?
A W-9 isn't optional paperwork—it's a legal requirement tied to tax reporting. MoveZen must have a valid W-9 on file before issuing payments or tax documents.
Audience: property owners who are asked to submit a W-9 and want to understand why it’s required, how it’s used, and how their information is protected.
MoveZen must have a valid W-9 on file before issuing payments or tax documents to ensure compliance with IRS regulations.
Here’s why it matters and how it’s used.
What a W-9 Provides
Your W-9 supplies the information needed to report payments to the IRS: your legal name, tax classification (individual, LLC, corporation, etc.), and Taxpayer Identification Number (SSN or EIN). This allows MoveZen to issue accurate 1099 forms and ensure income is attributed to the correct taxpayer.
How This Affects Your Payments
Missing or incorrect W-9 information can lead to payment delays, incorrect tax documents, or IRS mismatches. This isn't just a tax-season issue—it affects payments and reporting year-round.
When to Submit or Update a W-9
You'll need to provide a new W-9 if ownership changes, you move the property into an LLC, your tax classification changes, or your legal name changes.
Secure Submission
MoveZen uses secure submission methods to protect your data. Please avoid sending W-9s via regular email.
