About this file

This file is the IRS Form W-8BEN (Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding and Reporting), which is a federal tax form used for withholding and reporting purposes. The form is designed for use by foreign individuals who are beneficial owners of income derived from U.S. sources. Part I requires identification of the beneficial owner, including name, country of citizenship, permanent residence address, mailing address, U.S. taxpayer identification number (if required), and date of birth. Part II allows claimants to declare tax treaty benefits and specify any special rates and conditions applicable under income tax treaties between the United States and the beneficial owner's country of residence. Part III contains the certification statement, requiring the beneficial owner to attest under penalties of perjury that the information provided is true, correct, and complete, and that the person is not a U.S. person.

The form is not to be sent to the IRS but rather provided to the withholding agent or payer. The form should not be used by non-individuals (who must use Form W-8BEN-E), U.S. citizens or resident aliens (who must use Form W-9), individuals with effectively connected income from a U.S. trade or business (who must use Form W-8ECI), individuals receiving compensation for personal services in the U.S. (who must use Form 8233 or W-4), or intermediaries (who must use Form W-8IMY). A new form must be submitted within 30 days if any certification becomes incorrect. The form is associated with the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development's 2026-2028 International Contractor Request for Proposals, suggesting that foreign contractors bidding on this opportunity may be required to submit this tax certification form.
