Hey Product Hunt! We are pumped to release our first "micro-app" to PH!
This simple tool can help businesses and 1099 contractors send & receive IRS W-9 Forms quickly and securely (I know, not the sexiest thing on the planet... but super-helpful!).
What's great is that with this tool it'll be the LAST W-9 you'll EVER have to manually fill out! Sweet action.
We're just getting started and we want to leverage the Product Hunt community at large to figure out what we should add next to the tool and how we can continue to get us one step closer to a truly paperless world.
Leave your feedback and comments below!
(Oh, and see screenshots for a look at what to expect!)

@8bit@saddington does it cost any money? This is definitely a problem that we dealt with early on at Vungle. But you can pretty much do the same thing by setting up a template with hellosign or rightsignature or whatever. Cool to have one prepopulated template. I'm just not sure how much people would pay for it.
@_jacksmith@saddington Nope, it's entirely free!
The benefit of what we're really trying to do is to help people NEVER, EVER have to do this again. If they use our system once, they'll never have to fill out this form ever again.
And then we can start looking at solving this for the rest of the many government documents that exist... (and more)!
People coming straight to your website and you show nothing before asking for their email? Bold...
I'd recommend some examples of what the process looks like, at least
@bentossell Hah! Well, we actually hope that people will reference the PH post first... since we wanted to exclusively launch here to this community. That way, they could actually see a few screenshots as well that we've included in the post!
@bentossell agreed. website definitely needs work. I also didn't notice the screenshots on product hunt until just now. As the focus image is just a photo of an office worker
@8bit@bentossell I had the same question as by Ben. Not everyone will read the announcement post first (I din't), so some description or FAQs may certainly help for people like me. :)
@8bit@vingar@_jacksmith yup not everyone is a Product Hunter like us... you need to assume people will find your website directly too, right?
It's so easy to be able to explain and show what your product does on a landing page. If it's not explained/shown then people may assume its too complicated.
So. rad.
Request: is there a way to just save the W9 locally? (vs using the service to send it to the recipient)
Often I'm already deep in an email thread when someone asks me for a W9, and ideally I'd just be able to attach it inline. In fact, a local file that was "always up to date" would be KILLER. Currently I keep a filled W9 PDF and have to change the data manually before sending. A magical PDF with the current date would be so. perfect.
@8bit probably a silly question, but is there some magical way this downloaded copy stays in sync with the current date? Or would I need to return each time for a fresh copy? AFAIK, everything can be static but that dang date.
@clarklab Great question! We've done that for you as well...!
When you first create it the app will automagically date stamp it:
and then, whenever you want to send another one, you have the option to send the existing one or update any new information that you need (or any changes):
Yup!
