Actually they did send a 1099 and I filed it as required by law. It was the act of sending us 1099 that made the IRS require the W9.
1099 is not the way to do this because I don't actually do any work for ARS. If I did then they could claim that they own the work. But they don't own my sites. The fact that I put one of their banners on my site doesn't mean that I am doing work for them. If I worked for them then they could tell me which banners to put up or take down. And any site I made would be under contract to them and it would actually be their property.
No true contractor could work for a company and then leave the company and take all the work with them. They would be sued and lose in 2 seconds. I no more contract to ARS then the owner of a 7-11 contracts to budwiser. 7-11 resells the beer but they don't file a W9 with Budwieser. That would be fucking stupid.
