I am a dual (Can/US) citizen living in Toronto, Canada. I have a partnership here in Toronto (with a Canadian citizen) and we have recently done some work for a company in the US. They have sent me a W-8BEN tax form to fill out. I noticed on the top of the form it says "Do not use this form for US persons, including a resident alien individual."
Is there another form I should fill out being that I am a US person with SSN? Do both me and my partner need to each fill out a seperate form, or can I just have my partner fill out this form?
No one from the company that contracted us seems to know the proper procedure or forms. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
Canadian partnership being paid via US company...
