In order to obtain the correct TIN (SSN or tax ID) of a U.S person, the 1099 filer would usually use Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification). For federal purposes, a U.S. person includes but is not limited to: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; a partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; any estate (other than a foreign estate); or A domestic trust.

The W-9 form includes boxes such as name, federal classification (Individual/sole proprietor, C Corporation, S Corporation, Partnership), address, account numbers and other information. If the recipient fails to furnish the correct TIN to a requester, s/he is subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.
