- Determination will be made as to whether a W-9 is appropriate. If it is, a letter stating the tax status of UCSF will be sent to the company.
EXAMPLES:
A doctor teaches a seminar and payment is being made to UCSF. The company paying UCSF will request a W-9 so Federal and State Income taxes do not have to be withheld from the payment. A request to the Controller’s Office for a W-9 would be appropriate.
A department purchases supplies/services from a company. The company requests a tax exemption number in order to avoid charging taxes on the invoice. This would NOT be an appropriate request for W-9.
- Departments and/or employees of UCSF should never establish and/or change a tax identification number. The authority to establish and/or change the tax identification number rests with the University of California , Office of the President.
Please contact Jeffrey Yepsen, Assistant Accounting Officer to discuss the particular situation in your department if you believe your department may need to establish a separate tax identification number.
