Anybody out there have models fill out W-9's? Whenever I get hired for a commercial shoot the first words to pass my client's lips are, "what's your tax ID#?" then, "fill out this W-9."

When I pay a professional model (or barter TFCD) I, too, expect a tax ID# or W-9.

Or, is the where the rubber meets the road regarding professional, for pay, models? If she's a Pro, she understands the business....Amateur= don't ask, don't tell?

Feedback, pleeze.
