Filling out w9?

[Kadia Lawrence]

Hi All,

Section 8 (and other entities) understandably require a W9. I was wondering how you have filled your W9 if you have a single member LLC (which is considered a disregarded entity) and ensure payments go to your LLC and not your personal name? Specifically, what name and identification number do you input? I have been that 1) the payments should go to the "Name of entity" listed in Line 1, regardless of business/ LLC name you put in line 2 and that 2) since a single member LLC is a disregarded entity, use your personal name with your SSN. However, I'd want payments made out to my LLC and not to me, so am wondering if I can put my LLC name in line 1 instead with it's EIN instead?

Just sign your name Nellie. You are a member of the LLC.
