# W-8/W-9 tax forms

Stripe partners with platforms to collect W-8/W-9 tax forms. A [W-9 tax form](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf) is for [US residents or citizens](https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/classification-of-taxpayers-for-us-tax-purposes) and is used to confirm your tax ID number (TIN). A [W-8 tax form](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf) is for non-US residents and is used to confirm that you are not a US taxpayer. These forms help us to file your 1099 tax forms.
