Other Information

Special Instructions: As a rule, all checks are mailed directly from the A/P department to the vendor or individual. Should an unusual, non-recurring situation arise, special department handling may be possible. Any special instructions, such as "RUSH", "mail an attachment with the check," or "call the department when the check is ready," should be noted clearly on the request form. However, this should only be used when absolutely necessary.

W-9's are required for initial payments to businesses that are not identifiable as corporations, tax exempt organizations or government agencies. If the type of business of a payee is not known, a W-9 must be obtained prior to payment. If a vendor/individual fails to properly complete a W-9, Temple University is required by the Internal Revenue Service to withhold income tax at 31%. This amount will be deposited to an approved IRS depository bank and reported to the vendor or individual as federal withholding on a Form 1099 at calendar year-end.
