PODs and W-9s

Answered by: 

Question: 
If our deposit customer passes away and the POD receives the money in the account, if the money in the account is over $10,000 does the bank have to file a W-9?
Answer: 

File a W-9? You do not file a W-9. If the account earned interest after the customer's death, you would need a W-9 from the POD if that interest was over $10 for IRS information reporting purposes.
