Github W9 Form

Question

Hello,

I need the Github W9 form to record a purchase in our accounting system.
Can you please assist?
Thank you.

Answer 1

GitHub’s W‑9 form is issued by GitHub (the company) and isn’t something Microsoft can provide.

To obtain it for accounting/vendor setup, use one of these approaches:

1. If purchasing through Microsoft marketplaces (for example, via the GitHub app in Microsoft Teams or Outlook add-ins that integrate with GitHub), the IRS forms Microsoft issues (1099‑MISC, 1099‑K, 1042‑S) are described in Partner Center, but these are for Microsoft’s own payouts and tax reporting, not GitHub’s W‑9.
2. For a W‑9 specifically for GitHub as a vendor, contact GitHub directly through its official support or billing channels and request their current W‑9 form for your records.

GitHub’s presence in Microsoft ecosystems (for example, as a Teams app) does not change that GitHub remains a separate company responsible for its own W‑9.
