What is a W-9?
The W-9 is a form that you can use to collect information from anyone who does contract work for you, someone like a freelancer or a sub-contractor. The W-9 helps you keep taxpayer information on file, information that can help you fill out a 1099 if they end up doing $600 or more in work for the year. A completed W-9 Form should be collected from anyone who is doing contract work-for-hire for you or your business. More about 1099's can be found here: http://help.bookkeeping.godaddy.com/entries/426273

Also, while we did previously have functionality surrounding the W-9 tax form we no longer have that functionality in GoDaddy Bookkeeping, and there is no historical information regarding past years W9 information available in GoDaddy Bookkeeping.
