The company had me fill out a W-9 in order to receive the $615.00 donation. I received the money because my daughter was in a singing competition and her award money was disbursed between the company (they took a percentage), herself, and a person/charity of her choosing. I was the person/charity that my daughter chose. I did nothing to earn it, so, why did they have me fill out the W-9? They didn't receive any services from me and I'm not self-employed or an independent contractor. So, is it taxable or non-taxable?
