W9 Designation

[BEF]

Didn't get a response on the other forum, so trying it here since this seems to be the primary area:


I'm not quite sure I understand the two choices at the bottom of the online W9 form:


I am the same person (or payee's agent) accessing the system and submitting this form as identified on the Substitute Form W-9.

By submitting this form electronically, I am affixing my electronic signature as the payee identified on the Substitute Form W-9 and I am in agreement to accept and process this transaction in electronic form.


I don't follow the 'Substitute Form' reference, and have no idea which one of these I'm supposed to click. I also have a co-owner, and want our winnings to be separated, so I don't know if that comes into play or not. Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks!
