What are W-8BEN & W-9 and how to fill them out?

A W-8 BEN form is a United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax form used to determine the foreign status of non-resident aliens for the purposes of taxation.

Use Form W-9 to provide your correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to the person who is required to file an information return with the IRS to report.

Hence, Form W-9 is to be filled out by US workers that have a SSN or TIN, while W-8 forms are filled out by foreign individuals and non-resident aliens who receive income from US sources.

In order to submit a W-8 or W-9 form, you may follow the below steps:

  1. Select the correct form that applies to you
  2. Fill up the form based on the instruction on the instruction file
  3. Forward the form to our Customer Support (support@markets.com)
  4. Markets.com will take all the necessary actions from here on. We will contact you if we have any further questions.
