Privacy Act Notice
Section 6109 requires most recipients of dividends, interest, or other
payments to give taxpayer identification numbers to payers who must report the
payments to IRS. The IRS uses the numbers for identification purposes and to
help verify the accuracy of your tax return. Payers must be given the numbers
whether or not recipients are required to 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. Falsifying certifications or
affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or
imprisonment.
FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONTACT YOUR TAX CONSULTANT OR THE INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE.
