Convert W-9 Form to NDJSON

The W9 Form, also called the Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, is a key document for tax reporting in the US. Our system can pull structured data from W9 forms whether they are PDFs or scanned images.

We can extract these main parts:

• Name (person or business)
• Business name (if different from personal name)
• Federal tax classification
• Address, city, state, and ZIP code
• Social Security Number (SSN) or Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Signature and date

This is really useful for:

• Managing contractors and vendors
• Tax reporting and following rules
• Accounts payable processes
• Automating data entry for financial systems

By pulling data from W9 forms, you can make it easier to bring on new contractors and vendors, make sure tax reporting is accurate, and easily add this information to your financial and accounting systems.

NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) is a format where each line is a valid JSON object, making it easier to process large datasets sequentially.

Technical Details

Each line in an NDJSON file is a complete, self-contained JSON object ended by a newline character. This allows for streaming processing without loading the entire file into memory.

Advantages

• Streaming-friendly for large datasets
• Easy to append new records
• Each record can be processed independently
• Simpler to parse than JSON arrays for large datasets

Limitations

• No support for cross-record references
• Less widely supported than standard JSON
• Each line must be a complete JSON object
• Not suitable for deeply nested relationships
