Tax Forms
Form W-4
Every nonresident working in the US must complete a W-4 when starting a new job. This form is used to determine exactly how much tax should be withheld from the nonresident’s paycheck.
Form W-8BEN
Nonresidents can potentially reduce their tax liability by claiming tax treaty benefits. In order to avail of a treaty relief, nonresidents must complete a form W-8BEN.
Form W-8BEN-E
By completing a Form W-8BEN-E (also known as a Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), foreign vendors can claim a reduction in tax by availing of tax treaty benefits.
Form 8233
Every nonresident who earns a certain type of scholarship, personal services or fellowship income (including compensatory scholarship or fellowship income from the same withholding agent) is required to file a Form 8233. This form can also be used to claim exemption from withholding for certain personal services, because of an income tax treaty.
Form W-7
This form is used by nonresidents who are not eligible for a Social Security Number and need to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to file a federal tax return.
Form W-9
Form W-9 is used to provide and certify a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) and to verify that the nonresident is not subject to backup withholding.
Form SS-5
Form SS-5 is the application used to request a U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). It’s also used to replace a lost or stolen Social Security card or to update information, such as a name change.
