How does an investment club (general partnership) complete section 4 of a W9 when requested by a broker in support of a new broker account for the club?

I can't figure out if I even need to enter any codes in that section. Four pages of instructions/definitions for a simple one-page form can be confusing.
Thanks for any help!!

The partners are not employed contractors or employees of the partnership so I question why even a W9 is being requested or required? I'm not a tax expert but my question is a big WHY do they need this? The broker should not be taking part as a tax collector. Neither is the partnership in the position of "managing" funds for the individual members.

A W-9 is required in any situation where there could be back-up withholding. Any of the situations that trigger back-up withholding for an individual can also trigger it for a club. This includes providing an incorrect TIN or failure to report all income on a tax return (Form 1065).

The W9 is a form used to obtain relevant EIN and other pertinent information from organizations and contractors. Remember you will be receiving a 1099 from the broker. The W9 is a standard form for collecting that information. If you don't want to complete certain parts of the form, insert N/A and see what happens. It could well be they do not need some of the information on the form.
