The University of Denver uses the W-9 to collect the taxpayer TIN (tax identification number), which is used to report qualifying income payments annually to the IRS on form 1099. (For more information, see W-9 and 1099 reporting requirements.) While travel reimbursements are typically exempt from 1099 income reporting, the University still needs a 1099 to establish a payee in the accounts payable system.
