W9

[traeleo]

I received a w9 for $2799 from a non-profit organization for housing someone during Covid.  What do I do with it?  Do I need to include it with my taxes and if so where do I put it?

Do you mean you received a W-2 for $2,799? Form W-9 is used to provide a correct Tax Identification Number (TIN) to payers (or brokers) required to file information returns with IRS.

Yes, if you received $2,799, from a non-profit organization for housing someone during Covid in tax year 2021, you have to report it on your income tax return.
