Can i put my mailing address on my w9

According to the IRS, a W-9 form is used to provide the name, address, and taxpayer identification number (TIN) of a person or business. The address listed on a W-9 form is typically the business's mailing address, not the physical location where the business operates.

However, the IRS does not explicitly prohibit listing a mailing address on a W-9 form. In fact, the form itself asks for the "Business mailing address" in the "Name and Address" section.

That being said, it's generally recommended to use the physical address of the business on a W-9 form, especially if the business operates from a specific location. This is because the W-9 form is used to identify the business for tax purposes, and the physical address can be useful for the IRS to verify the business's existence and location.

If you do choose to list a mailing address on your W-9 form, make sure it's a valid and accurate address where you can receive mail and correspondence. You should also ensure that the mailing address is consistent with the address you use for other business purposes, such as your business license or registration.

Ultimately, the decision to list a mailing address on your W-9 form is up to you. However, it's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional or accountant if you have any questions or concerns about completing the form.
