    Hi,

    I am trying to figure out this W-8BEN form to fill out and I have no clue what to out at section 9.

    9. Special rates and conditions (if applicable—see instructions): The beneficial owner is claiming the provisions of Article

    of the treaty identified on line 9 above to claim a

    % rate of withholding on (specify type of income):

    Explain the reasons the beneficial owner meets the terms of the treaty article:


    Any help would be great.

    Ring up the brokerage, they’ll run through it with you and help you submit online. You don’t have to fill in a lot of it.

    Kneemos, I, somehow, doubt you'll ever get started on a W-B8BEN form

    Patreon is an anagram for part one, maybe you're on the wrong section.

    My favourite part was when you printed out the form!

    You only need to complete that section if you believe you are entitled to and are claiming a special reduction of taxes on certain types of US income. If you're having to ask on After Hours, you cant and shouldn't complete it.

    Thanks, so if your just a normal Joe there is no need to fill it out I am guessing?

    Well that depends. Assuming you avoid any countries with an extradition treaty with the US you may be OK......
