  • Ask the tribal member to furnish the TIN by completing a Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, or
  • If the tribal member refuses to furnish his/her TIN, complete the Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, using the latest information the tribe has for name and address and apply backup withholding at the rate of 28%.
