Get a W-9 or tax form signed.
Upload your W-9, 1099, or tax form. Add the contractor, vendor, or payee who needs to sign. Each gets a private link, and you get the completed form back with proof of signature. Signers need no account.
The document is stored so your recipients can open it, reachable only by private link, and you can delete it any time.

Questions
Where do I start?
Head to www.penstead.com/w9-signature, upload your W-9 or tax form, add the contractor or vendor's name and email, and place signature fields. You get the signed form with a complete audit trail when they're done.
What file types work?
PDF, Word documents, and images. Most W-9 and tax forms are one of these. Images and scans convert to PDF on upload.
Is it free, and do signers need accounts?
A free account sends 5 signature requests a month. You need that account to send; the people signing need nothing. Pro is $15 a month for 50 requests.
Where is the form stored?
Editing runs in your browser. After you send, the document is stored so signers can open their links, behind an unguessable URL that is not listed or searchable. Signing links expire after 30 days; the completed form stays until you delete it.
What proof do I get that it was signed?
Every completed form comes with a Certificate of Completion showing who signed, each person's email address, when they opened and signed the document, their IP address, and SHA-256 hashes of the original and signed files. The record is kept after completion.
Does Penstead provide tax advice or file with the IRS?
No. Penstead is a signature tool, not a tax service. We help you get the form signed with proof — you remain responsible for verifying the information, filing it with the IRS, and following all tax requirements.
