I offer this for my fellow freenlancers out there.

Whenever you sign a contract for a new client they almost never send you a W9. (for
those outside the United States, it's a tax form we all have to file in order to get paid.) What this
does is slows down the disbursement of your payment because they typically will not disburse
payments to you until you have the proper tax information on file.

All you need to do is send in a sign and dated W9 along with your invoice to help insure you get
paid in the 30 days YOU SHOULD be stating on your invoices. If you do not state a "payment due date"
then you can't get upset if they take 90 days or more to pay. I'll at some point update a template of my invoice.

In the mean time, here is your W9 tax form.
