Whenever possible, paying agencies should provide information necessary for identification of electronic payments such as:

    • Sponsoring agency award number
    • University project number
    • Principal Investigator name

    What is a W-9 Form and Where can I get one?

    The W-9 Form reports the following:

    • Official name (University of Utah)
    • Tax identification number (87-6000525), and
    • Appropriate address to which sponsor should send reimbursement - meaning
      • Sponsors may require a completed and signed U.S. Federal Governments's INternal Revenue Service (IRS) W-9 form for tax reporting services. You can obtain W-9 forms for the University of Utah Tax Service's website. Click on "Form W-9 (University's Form W-9)," which is a PDF document.

        You may also obtain a signed W-9 form from the Office of Sponsored Projects. Sometimes sponsors design their own form instead of using the official IRS W-9 form. Please send these "substitute W-9 forms" to OSP for signature.

        In general, for restricted research accounts, we ask that all checks be sent directly to Research Accounting. For clinical studies, however, PIs / CRCs may request that sponsors mail checks and related documentation to their attention, as PIs are responsible fore invoicing clinical sponsors and reconciling payment. If the PI chooses to have checks sent to her / her attention instead of directly to the Research Accounting Office, please
        • make copies of checks and documentation for the PI and project file
        • forward these checks as soon as possible with an appropriate University project number to the attention of Alayen Marritt in Research Accounting for deposit.
