This question is about w9 vs w2.
A W-9 is for a 1099 form. W-9 forms request independent contractors for their taxpayer identification number (TIN), name, address, and other important information so that the company hiring them can accurately fill out a 1099 form for them.
While W-9s are for companies' own records, so they don't have to file them, they do have to file 1099s with the IRS and send them to their contractors at the beginning of every tax year.
On the other hand, companies fill out and file W-2 forms for their full- and part-time employees each tax year. They don't do this for contractors, however.
