Do we need to request a W-9 from Kickserv ®?

We do get asked once in a while for a W-9 form and that could be because we were once a start-up and privately owned (2006-2014).  Plus, we work hard at getting to know our customers and their business needs which could lead some people to think we are not part of a multi-billion company (Gannett - The USA Today Network®).

Here are some sources of the W-9 and 1099-MISC instructions we found:

On our website, we clearly state that we are a product and service of Gannett USA Today Network.
