1.5 Further Documentation.
(a) As part of the Google Summer of Code Application process, you will be required to execute certain additional documents relating to taxation. If you are an individual or organization residing in the United States, you must submit a W9 form to Google; Google will issue to you a 1099 form recording the total payment made to you. If you are an individual or organization residing outside the United States, you must submit a Foreign Certification form to Google, and no tax form will be issued subsequently. Please note that your Application will not be considered complete until Google has received your W9 or Foreign Certification form as applicable. You will be given the appropriate form and instructions for sending the completed document to Google as part of the Application process.
