    Form W-9 (March 2024 revision) is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) document used by U.S. persons (individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, and estates) to provide their correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to entities required to file information returns with the IRS. This form helps prevent backup withholding on various payments like interest, dividends, and nonemployee compensation. Key updates include clarifications for disregarded entities on Line 3a and a new Line 3b for flow-through entities with foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries. The form details instructions for completing each section, including name, business name, federal tax classification, exemptions from backup withholding and FATCA reporting, address, and TIN. It also outlines penalties for failing to provide a correct TIN or providing false information and offers guidance on identity theft protection. Form W-9 is crucial for ensuring accurate tax reporting and compliance for both the payee and the requester.
    Form W-8BEN-E (October 2021) is an Internal Revenue Service document used by foreign entities to certify their status as beneficial owners for U.S. tax withholding and reporting purposes. It helps determine the correct rate of tax withholding on payments made to foreign entities. The form is not for U.S. entities or citizens, foreign individuals, or those claiming effectively connected income without treaty benefits. It requires identification of the beneficial owner, country of organization, and various Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 (FATCA) statuses, such as participating FFI, nonreporting IGA FFI, or active NFFE. Entities must provide their permanent residence, taxpayer identification number (if applicable), and potentially claim tax treaty benefits. The form also includes certifications for various entity types like sponsored FFIs, deemed-compliant FFIs, international organizations, and exempt retirement plans. A crucial aspect is the certification, under penalties of perjury, that the information is true and the entity is the beneficial owner of the income.
