Today, I’m knocked by a reader, asking about the 2nd part of my article What is W-8BEN Tax Form? that was written back in 2013 and I promised to write about “How to fill out W-8BEN form” under the guideline of IRS.gov. So let me start the latest updated review for 2016 and the form filled for helping Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi and other Asian affiliates.

Form W-8BEN (02/2014) by IRS.gov

As you know W-8BEN form (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)) is a Tax form that is required to get affiliate commission or income from the online marketplaces or Companies that are native United States (USA) based. 

So, in order to get paid by the USA based firms through any online source, One must have to proof that the beneficiary owner of the payment is a Non-US resident and live outside USA who is affiliated with any US based online company. Without submission and approval of W-8BEN form no payment could be sent to any Non-US resident so this is a legal way to get paid and must be submitted duly filled under IRS.gov guidelines.

However I have solved this form and published a filled form the best of my understanding ( I have submitted already and get it approved)
