What is a W-9 form?
A W-9 form is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax form. It is used to confirm the name, address, and tax identification number (TIN) of an individual receiving income.
The confirmation can be requested for either an individual defined as a U.S. citizen or a person defined as a resident alien.
The information taken from a W-9 form is often used to generate a 1099 tax form, which is required for income tax filing purposes.
A W-9 form is also known as a Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification form.
How does W-9 scanning work?
You can use our OCR SDK scanner for direct scanning or upload photos and PDFs to our OCR API, starting the process with a simple action and then letting technology take over.
Klippa’s software then analyzes the light and dark patterns that make up the letters and numbers to convert the scanned image into text. After that, data fields are identified and extracted from the W-9 form.
What data can be extracted from with W-9 OCR?
There are a range of data fields and sections that can be extracted with W-9 OCR. These include but are not limited to, the business name, address details, taxpayer identification number, signature, and sign date.
For more information on the data fields that can be extracted, contact us.
What languages does Klippa support?
Currently, Klippa supports all Latin languages. Our engine performs best on forms in English, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and French.
However, other languages can be supported on request. We’re open to training our machine learning models. If you have a specific case, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Is Klippa’s W-9 processing GDPR-compliant?
By default, Klippa does not store any customer data. Data is always processed under a data processing agreement (DPA) and all services from Klippa are compliant with GDPR. All data transfer is done via secure SSL connections.
Our servers are ISO-certified and by default located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Getting a custom server on a location of choice is possible in any location worldwide.
On a regular base, our security is tested via third-party penetration testing to ensure state-of-the-art security at all times.
How can I integrate Klippa’s W-9 OCR?
Our API can be implemented into any software, web or mobile solution that you may be using. The main source of communication is JSON, so it is independent of specific programming languages.
Our mobile SDKs have been built using native IOS (Swift) and native Android (Kotlin). This means they can be implemented into native apps, but they can also be wrapped for cross-platform languages such as Xamarin, ReactNative, Nativescript, Flutter, PhoneGap, Cordova, Ionic and more.
Klippa’s solution is made in a developer-friendly way. It is well-documented, so that developers can have all the information they need to successfully implement our API.
