file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 31% of taxable interest,
dividends, and certain other payments to a payee who does not furnish a
taxpayer identification number to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
Penalties.
(1) Penalty for Failure to Furnish Taxpayer Identification Number.--If you
fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number to a payer, you are
subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due
to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
(2) Civil Penalty for False Information With Respect to Withholding.--If you
make a false statement with no reasonable basis which results in no imposition
of backup withholding, you are subject to a penalty of $500.
(3) Criminal Penalty for Falsifying Information.--Falsify- ing
certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including
fines and/or imprisonment.

REVENUE SERVICE.
