Testing contract

Expected to pass
Scenario
Read the classification and the identification number and decide which information return this payee should receive.
Expected result
The payee certifies United States person status, so a 1099-NEC shaped slip is issued for 960.00 USD. The identification number begins 00, a reserved prefix, so the fixture cannot name a real taxpayer.

What is a .docx file?

DOCX is the default Microsoft Word format, an Office Open XML document packaged as a ZIP archive of XML parts, media, and relationships. It stores structured text, styles, tables, images, and metadata. It is the dominant format for editable word-processing documents.

How to use this file

Use an example DOCX to test Office Open XML parsing, text and style extraction, ZIP-package handling, and converters that render or transform Word documents.

How to use this file for testing

“Tern Client Services: Payee certification, W-9 shaped (DOCX)” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: DOCX · 37,732 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Document fixtures list their internal structure (pages, fields, tracked changes, embedded objects) in the spec table. Test extractors, converters, and OCR against that known structure, and compare searchable↔scanned or format-twin companions when present.
