AO 229S: Supplemental Juror Information
AO 229S, Supplemental Juror Information, is a one-page form a juror completes and signs for a United States district court. It asks for the juror's name, address, participant number and Social Security number, and has the juror certify, under penalties of perjury, the taxpayer identification number, backup withholding status and U.S. citizenship. The U.S. Courts page lists it under Jury Forms, effective on August 1, 2018, and the form is dated Rev. 08/18.
The form's Privacy Act Information says the Federal Judiciary is required by section 6041 of the Internal Revenue Code to file an information return (Form 1099) with the Internal Revenue Service containing the Social Security number of a juror who receives $600 or more in jury attendance fees during a calendar year.
This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal or tax advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
What's on AO 229S
Certification item 1
The number shown on the form is the juror's correct taxpayer identification number, or the juror is waiting for a number to be issued.
Certification item 2
The juror is not subject to backup withholding because they are exempt, have not been notified by the IRS that they are subject to it, or the IRS has notified them that they no longer are.
Certification item 3
"I am a U.S. citizen."
Certification instructions and signature
When item 2 is crossed out, notes for real estate transactions and other payments, a line saying the IRS does not require consent to any provision other than the certifications required to avoid backup withholding, and the signature line.
Privacy Act Information
Why the Federal Judiciary and the district court collect the Social Security number, and that the court discloses it only when required by law.
