Canadian partnership being paid via US company...

Post by spawlding »

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!

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
