all of your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.


Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:
You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,
You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),
The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,
The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your
interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

  2. you give them the wrong number; or
  3. you ignore notices from the IRS claiming that you have under reported interest or dividend income on your tax return.

Under backup withholding, when you open up a new account you must certify under penalties of perjury that your social security number is correct and that you are not subject to backup withholding on Form W9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification.
