TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER REQUEST FORM FOR ELECTION OFFICIALS
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this form is to verify your social security number. This is required by Wake County in order to issue payment to you
for your services as an election official. According the IRS guidelines, Wake County must issue a W-2 form to any individual who
earns $600.00 or more during a tax year (January 1-December 31) for services that he/she has provided.
A W-2 form will not be issued for any individual who earns less than $600.00 during the tax year.
Income received as an election official is not subject to tax withholding; however, any individual who earns $1,600.00 or more during
the 2015 tax year is subject to FICA (social security and Medicare) withholding. If you have any questions on whether or not you
should report these earnings on your personal income tax return please contact your tax advisor.
