    Form W-9 is a form a contractor sends to their sub-contractors to get their tax ID information. 

    Form W-9 does not go on a tax return, could you mean something else? 

    Form 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC maybe?

    Hi, sorry yes it was 1099-NEC

    As long as you are married-filing-jointly then a 1099-NEC to you or your spouse won't make any difference to the bottom line.  So you can go ahead and enter it as received.
