@Rustler,

I appreciate your feedback and input.

But again, no matter which method you choose (new or old) as the business owner, shouldn't you always double-check what gets input into your system? Notwithstanding who actually adds the correct Tax ID, everyone involved has a stake in doing this correctly, the person who wants more and the person who wants to be compliant.

To your first point, not letting you proceed with adding a contractor to the new Worker Page renders the above a bit moot.

Is it simply a matter of adding a message to the new Workers QuickBooks page that requires users to follow up with an official W-9? Or is your stance more that not messaging this to users creates an unnecessary liability? @nicholasmaalouf, I'd love your thoughts on this. 

Also @nicholasmaalouf, are you able to answer @bethb's question?
