How to Fax a W-9 Form from iPhone 14

W-9 forms contain sensitive tax information, so faxing them securely matters. Here's how to do it right from your iPhone.

Never fax a W-9 without a confidentiality cover page — it contains your Social Security Number or EIN

What you'll need

  • iPhone 14 running iOS 16+
  • TigerFax app (free on the App Store)
  • Your W-9 Form (physical copy to scan, or a PDF/image file)
  • The recipient's fax number
  • A cover page with confidentiality notice (recommended)

How to Fax a W-9 Form from iPhone 14: Step-by-Step

  1. 1

    Download TigerFax

    Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 14. It's free to start — no credit card required.

    💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 16+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

  2. 2

    Scan your W-9 Form with iPhone 14

    Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 14 about 12 inches above the W-9 Form and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 14's sensor-shift optical image stabilization helps reduce blur when scanning documents in less-than-ideal lighting. Hold steady and let the OIS do the work.

  3. 3

    Upload your W-9 Form from iPhone 14

    Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your W-9 Form from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 16 on iPhone 14 introduced an improved Files app with better cloud storage integration, making it easier to import documents from Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive into TigerFax.

    💡 Tip: PDF format preserves W-9 Form formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.

  4. 4

    Add a confidentiality cover page

    Since W-9 Forms contain sensitive information protected under IRS, add a cover page with a confidentiality notice. TigerFax includes built-in cover page templates.

    💡 Tip: Never fax a W-9 without a confidentiality cover page — it contains your Social Security Number or EIN

  6. 6

    Review and send

    Preview your W-9 Form to verify all pages are included and legible. Tap Send. You'll receive a delivery confirmation when the fax is received.
