This document relates to the exchange offer made by Fortive Corporation whereby we are offering:

We refer to the Old 2019 Notes, the Old 2021 Notes, the Old 2026 Notes and the Old 2046 Notes collectively in this Letter of Transmittal as the “Old Notes.” We refer to the New 2019 Notes, the New 2021 Notes, the New 2026 Notes and the New 2046 Notes collectively in this Letter of Transmittal as the “New Notes.”

The exchange offer is described in the Prospectus, dated                     , 2017 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”) and in this Letter of Transmittal. All terms and conditions contained, or otherwise referred to, in the Prospectus are deemed to be incorporated in, and form a part of, this Letter of Transmittal. Therefore, you are urged to read carefully the Prospectus and the items referred to in the Prospectus. The terms and conditions contained in the Prospectus, together with the terms and conditions governing this Letter of Transmittal and the instructions herein, are collectively referred to herein as the “terms and conditions of the exchange offer.”

Upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the acceptance of Old Notes set forth in the Prospectus under “Description of the Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer,” we will accept for settlement Old Notes that have been validly tendered (and not subsequently validly withdrawn). We will deliver the New Notes on a date (the “settlement date”) promptly after the expiration date.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by a holder of Old Notes either if certificates representing Old Notes are to be physically delivered herewith, or delivery of Old Notes is to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent”) at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” and an “agent’s message” is not delivered or being transmitted through ATOP (defined below) as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering.”

Tenders by book-entry transfer may also be made by delivering an agent’s message in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal pursuant to DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”). See procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering.” You should allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedure with DTC if used for tendering your Old Notes prior to the expiration date. By using the ATOP procedures to exchange Old Notes, you will not be required to deliver an executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent. However, you will be bound by its terms just as if you had signed it.

Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

PLEASE READ THE ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to Fortive Corporation (the “Company”) for exchange the principal amount of each series of Old Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, the acceptance for exchange of the principal amount of Old Notes tendered in accordance with this Letter of Transmittal, the undersigned hereby exchanges, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Old Notes tendered for exchange hereby.

The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Exchange Agent the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact for the undersigned (with full knowledge that said Exchange Agent also acts as the agent for the Company in connection with the exchange offer) with respect to the tendered Old Notes with full power of substitution to:

The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be deemed to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered hereby and to acquire the New Notes issuable upon the exchange of such tendered Old Notes, and that the Company will acquire good and marketable title to the Old Notes, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claim or right, when the same are accepted for exchange by the Company.

The undersigned acknowledges that the exchange offer is being made in reliance upon interpretations set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (available June 5, 1991), Mary Kay Cosmetics, Inc. (available June 5, 1991), Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993) and similar no-action letters (the “Prior No-Action Letters”), that the New Notes issued in exchange for the Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any holder that is a broker-dealer who purchased Old Notes directly from the Company for resale and any holder that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act (except for prospectus delivery obligations applicable to certain broker-dealers), provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holders’ business and such holders have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of such New Notes in violation of the Securities Act. The SEC has not, however, considered this exchange offer in the context of a no-action letter, and there can be no assurance that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to the exchange offer as it has in other circumstances.

The undersigned hereby further represents to the Company that (i) any New Notes received will be acquired in the ordinary course of business of the undersigned; (ii) the undersigned does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the New Notes in violation of the Securities Act; (iii) the undersigned is not an “affiliate” of the Company, within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act; (iv)(a) if the undersigned is not a broker-dealer, the undersigned is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution (within the meaning of the

5

Securities Act) of the New Notes in violation of the Securities Act; or (b) if the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive New Notes for its own account in exchange for Old Notes, the undersigned acquired those Old Notes as a result of market-making or other trading activities and it will deliver the Prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of the New Notes; provided, however, that by acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering, the Prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act; and (v) the undersigned is not acting on behalf of any person or entity who could not truthfully make the statements set forth in (i) through (iv) above.

The undersigned acknowledges that if the undersigned is an “affiliate” of the Company (within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act) or is tendering Old Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the New Notes:

The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered hereby, including the transfer of such Old Notes on the account books maintained by DTC.

For purposes of the exchange offer, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted for exchange validly tendered Old Notes that have not been validly withdrawn when, and if, the Company gives oral or written notice of acceptance to the Exchange Agent. Any tendered Old Notes that are not accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer for any reason will be returned, without expense, to the undersigned promptly after the expiration date.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal shall survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned, and every obligation of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the undersigned’s successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives. This tender may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

The undersigned acknowledges that the acceptance by the Company of properly tendered Old Notes pursuant to the procedures described under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” in the Prospectus and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned, on one hand, and the Company, on the other, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer. The representations, warranties and agreements of the undersigned contained in this Letter of Transmittal will be deemed to be repeated and reconfirmed on and as of the expiration date and the settlement date of the exchange offer, which will be promptly following the expiration date.

The exchange offer is subject to certain conditions set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.” The undersigned recognizes that as a result of these conditions (which may be waived, in whole or in part, by the Company), the Company may not be required to exchange any of the Old Notes tendered hereby.

Unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions,” the undersigned hereby directs that the New Notes be issued in the name(s) of the undersigned or, in the case of a book-entry tender of Old Notes, that

6

the New Notes be credited to the account indicated above maintained at DTC. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Delivery Instructions,” the undersigned hereby directs that the New Notes (and any accompanying documents) be delivered to the address shown below the undersigned’s signature.

If the undersigned has (1) tendered any Old Notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer for any reason or (2) submitted certificates for more Old Notes than the undersigned wishes to tender, unless otherwise indicated under “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions,” the undersigned hereby directs that certificates for any Old Notes that are not tendered or not exchanged should be issued in the name of the undersigned, if applicable, and delivered to the address shown below the undersigned’s signature(s) or, in the case of a book-entry transfer of Old Notes, that Old Notes that are not tendered or not exchanged be credited to the account indicated above maintained at DTC, in each case, at the Company’s expense, promptly following the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

The undersigned recognizes that the Company has no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” to transfer any Old Notes from the name of the registered holder(s) thereof if the Company does not accept for exchange any of the Old Notes so tendered for exchange.

INSTRUCTIONS TO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

FORMING PART OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE EXCHANGE OFFER

1. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Old Notes or Agent’s Message and Book-Entry Confirmations. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by tendering holders of Old Notes if (i) certificates for physically tendered Old Notes are to be delivered or (ii) tenders are to be made pursuant to the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfer under DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) set forth in the Prospectus under “Description of the Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering” and an agent’s message, which is described further below, is not delivered.

Tenders by book-entry transfer may also be made by delivering an agent’s message in lieu of this Letter of Transmittal. The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to and received by the Exchange Agent, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering DTC participant, which acknowledgment states that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the Letter of Transmittal and that the Company may enforce the Letter of Transmittal against such participant. Certificates for Old Notes or a confirmation of a book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC of Old Notes transferred by book-entry transfer (a “Book-Entry Confirmation”), as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof or, in the case of a book-entry transfer using ATOP, an agent’s message in lieu hereof) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Exchange Agent at the address set forth herein prior to the expiration date, or the tendering holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Instruction 14 below.

Holders who tender their Old Notes through DTC’s ATOP procedures shall be bound by, but need not complete, this Letter of Transmittal; thus, a Letter of Transmittal need not accompany tenders effected through ATOP.

Any financial institution that is a participant in DTC may electronically transmit its acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer Old Notes in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures for such transfer prior to the expiration date.

The method of delivery of the tendered Old Notes, this Letter of Transmittal, any Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the holder and, except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. Delivery of any such documents to DTC will not constitute valid delivery to the Exchange Agent. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that the holder use an overnight or courier service, properly insured, with return receipt requested. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the Exchange Agent before the expiration date. NO OLD NOTES, LETTERS OF TRANSMITTAL, NOTICES OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR ANY OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE COMPANY.

2. Tender by Holder. Only a registered holder of Old Notes may tender such Old Notes in the exchange offer. Any beneficial holder of Old Notes who is not the registered holder and who wishes to tender should arrange with the registered holder to execute and deliver this Letter of Transmittal on such beneficial holder’s behalf or must, prior to completing and executing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering such beneficial holder’s Old Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Old Notes in such holder’s name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder.

3. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If less than the entire principal amount of any Old Notes is tendered, the tendering holder should fill in the principal amount tendered in the fourth column of the box entitled “Description of Old Notes Tendered” above. The entire principal amount of Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount

10

of all Old Notes is not tendered, then Old Notes for the principal amount of Old Notes not tendered and New Notes issued in exchange for any Old Notes accepted will be returned to the holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

4. Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal; Bond Powers and Endorsements; Medallion Guarantee of Signatures. If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the record holder(s) of the Old Notes tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as written on the face of the Old Notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever. If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by a participant in DTC, the signature must correspond with the name as it appears on the security position listing as the holder of the Old Notes. If any tendered Old Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all of such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) is signed by the registered holder(s) of Old Notes listed and tendered hereby and the New Notes issued in exchange therefor are to be issued (or any untendered principal amount of Old Notes is to be reissued) to the registered holder(s), then said holder(s) need not and should not endorse any tendered Old Notes, nor provide a separate bond power. In any other case, such holder(s) must either properly endorse the Old Notes tendered or transmit a properly completed separate bond power with this Letter of Transmittal, with the signatures on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed by a firm that is a member of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in each case that is a participant in the Securities Transfer Agents’ Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Program or the Stock Exchanges’ Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Association Inc. (each, an “Eligible Institution”).

If this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) or any Old Notes or bond powers are signed by one or more trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and, unless waived by the Company, evidence satisfactory to the Company of their authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

No signature guarantee is required if:

In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile hereof) must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

5. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. Tendering holders should indicate, in the applicable box or boxes, the name and address to which New Notes or substitute Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for exchange are to be issued or sent, if different from the name and address of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different name, the taxpayer identification number (see Instruction 7 below) of the person named must also be indicated. Holders tendering Old Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Old Notes not exchanged be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such holder may designate hereon. If no such instructions are given, such Old Notes not exchanged will be returned to the name and address (or account number) of the person signing this Letter of Transmittal.

11

6. Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay or cause to be paid all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, including in the event that a tendering holder instructs the Company to register New Notes in the name of, or requests that Old Notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder and the Exchange Agent will retain possession of an amount of New Notes with a face amount at least equal to the amount of such transfer taxes due by such tendering holder pending receipt by the Exchange Agent of the amount of such taxes.

7. Taxpayer Identification Number. Federal income tax law requires that a holder of any Old Notes or New Notes must provide the Company (as payer) with its correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, in the case of a holder who is an individual, is his or her social security number. If the Company is not provided with the correct TIN, the holder or payee may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, on interest payments on the New Notes.

To prevent backup withholding, each tendering holder must provide such holder’s correct TIN by completing the IRS Form W-9 set forth herein, certifying that the TIN provided is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN), that the holder is a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien), and that (i) the holder has not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that such holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the holder that such holder is no longer subject to backup withholding. If the New Notes will be registered in more than one name or will not be in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions to IRS Form W-9 for information on which TIN to report. If such holder does not have, but has applied or intends to apply for, a TIN, such holder should consult the instructions to IRS Form W-9. Backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, may apply to interest payments on the New Notes until a TIN is provided. Certain holders are not subject to the backup withholding and reporting requirements. These holders, which we refer to as exempt holders, include certain foreign persons (other than U.S. resident aliens) and persons listed in the instructions to IRS Form W-9 as payees exempt from backup withholding. Exempt holders (other than certain foreign persons) should indicate their exempt status on the IRS Form W-9. A foreign person (other than a U.S. resident alien) may qualify as an exempt holder by submitting to the Exchange Agent a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or other applicable Form W-8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that holder’s exempt status. The applicable IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Exchange Agent.

The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to take whatever steps are necessary to comply with the Company’s obligations regarding backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of a person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.

8. Validity of Tenders. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes will be reasonably determined by the Company in its sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Company’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, be unlawful. The Company also reserves the absolute right to waive any conditions of the exchange offer or defects or irregularities of tender as to particular Old Notes. The Company’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, all defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within such time as the Company shall determine. None of the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

12

9. Waiver of Conditions. The Company in its sole discretion reserves the absolute right to waive, in whole or part, any of the conditions to the exchange offer set forth in the Prospectus.

10. No Conditional Tender. No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tender of Old Notes will be accepted.

11. Mutilated, Lost, Wrongfully Taken or Destroyed Old Notes. Any holder whose Old Notes have been mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated above for further instructions. This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Old Notes have been followed.

12. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Prospectus or this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address or telephone number set forth on the cover page of this Letter of Transmittal. Holders may also contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the exchange offer.

13. Withdrawal. Tenders may be withdrawn only in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of the Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

14. Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. Holders of Old Notes who wish to tender their Old Notes and (1) whose Old Notes are not immediately available, (2) who cannot deliver their Old Notes, the Letter of Transmittal or any other documents required to be delivered to the Exchange Agent prior to the expiration date or (3) who cannot complete the procedures for delivery by book-entry transfers prior to the expiration date, may effect a tender if:

Any holder who wishes to tender Old Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the Exchange Agent receives the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery relating to such Old Notes prior to the expiration date. Failure to complete the guaranteed delivery procedures outlined above will not, of itself, affect the validity or effect a revocation of any Letter of Transmittal form properly completed and executed by a holder who attempted to use the guaranteed delivery procedures.

IMPORTANT: This Letter of Transmittal or a manually signed facsimile hereof or, in the case of a book-entry transfer using ATOP, an agent’s message in lieu hereof (together with the Old Notes delivered by book-entry transfer or in original hard copy form and all other required documents or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery) must be received by the Exchange Agent prior to the expiration date.

If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income, and
4. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct. See What is FATCA reporting? on page 2 for further information

Note. If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; An estate (other than a foreign estate); or A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners’ share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income. In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States: In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity; In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the trust; and In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items: 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233. Backup Withholding What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 28% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details), 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN, 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only). Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code on page 3 and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Also see Special rules for partnerships above. What is FATCA reporting? The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code on page 3 and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Updating Your Information You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Line 1 You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return. If this Form W-9 is for a joint account, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. a. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name. Note. ITIN applicant: Enter your individual name as it was entered on your Form W-7 application, line 1a. This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ you filed with your application. b. Sole proprietor or single-member LLC. Enter your individual name as shown on your 1040/1040A/1040EZ on line 1. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2. c. Partnership, LLC that is not a single-member LLC, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2. d. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2 e. Disregarded entity. For U.S. federal tax purposes, an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner is treated as a “disregarded entity.” See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2)(iii). Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the entity entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2, “Business name/disregarded entity name.” If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN.

Line 2 If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, you may enter it on line 2. Line 3 Check the appropriate box in line 3 for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box in line 3. Limited Liability Company (LLC).

If the LLC has filed Form 8832 or 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, check the “Limited Liability Company” box and in the space provided enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If it is a single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity, do not check the “Limited Liability Company” box; instead check the first box in line 3 “Individual/sole proprietor or single-member LLC.” Line 4, Exemptions If you are exempt from backup withholding and/or FATCA reporting, enter in the appropriate space in line 4 any code(s) that may apply to you.

Line 6 Enter your city, state, and ZIP code. Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below. If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN. If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on this page), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN. Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations. How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676). If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester. Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund. To reduce your risk: • Protect your SSN, • Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and • Be careful when choosing a tax preparer. If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039. For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance. Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059. Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk. Privacy Act Notice Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons (including federal agencies) who are required to file information returns with the IRS to report interest, dividends, or certain other income paid to you; mortgage interest you paid; the acquisition or abandonment of secured property; the cancellation of debt; or contributions you made to an IRA, Archer MSA, or HSA. The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths and possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer. Certain penalties may also apply for providing false or fraudulent information. 1 List first and circle the name of the person whose number you furnish.
