Congratulations you're getting paid I'm so excited for you but before the company will send you the money you need to send them a form wben and I'm going to explain in this video exactly how to complete the form so let's go right to it I want to go over first who's required to file and complete this form right so if you are not an individual that is if you're a foreign corporation a non us Corporation or some other kind of company or entity or something that is receiving the payment then you should not complete this form you should complete W NE and I have a button above that will take you to the W NE video which is for entities so if this is if we're talking about a us a foreign corporation that owns a US LLC that's receiving the payment you should technically be completing the form WB NE this form is going to be for my man Fred Smith Who's down here getting paid or a single member LLC that Mr Fred Smith owns So if Fred has an LLC in the US and he's getting paid to that LLC he would be completing this form so this form is not sent to the IRS this form is withheld and kept by the person who's paying you to certify your tax status I the biggest point of advice that I I like to tell my clients is that confirm that whoever's paying you is not intending to withhold taxes on the payment because if they are withholding taxes maybe there's a way can reduce it by making a treaty position so I'm going to talk more about that after we get through the form but I want to get through the form...

About Form W-8
Form W-8 is a tax form used by foreign individuals, entities, or businesses to certify their non-US status. The purpose of this form is to declare that the individual or company is not subject to US taxes or should be subject to lower tax rates as per an applicable tax treaty. The W-8 form is required when a non-US person or entity receives income from US sources, such as payments for services, royalties, dividends, or interest. It is primarily used to establish exemption or reduced rates of withholding taxes on these types of income. Common situations where Form W-8 may be needed include foreign investors, non-resident aliens, foreign contractors or vendors rendering services in the US, or foreign entities receiving US-sourced income. By providing the necessary information on the form, the non-US recipient can prevent excessive withholding of taxes and comply with US tax regulations.
