The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires all colleges and universities to request SSNs or ITINs from enrolled students in order to comply with Form 1098-T reporting requirements for educational tax credits.
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is requesting that you provide us with this information. Please complete the Request for Student’s Taxpayer Identification Number (W-9S) form on the Student Account website. Follow the instructions on the form, sign it and forward it to the Registrar’s Office along with the proper documentation.
If you do not have a copy of your Social Security card or prefer to use the IRS form, you can locate the form W-9S Request. Submit this form to the Registrar’s Office.
