W-8IMY - Canadian consulting to a US company

[mbajada]

My wife has just started consulting for a US company. She had been requested to fill out a W-8IMY to send payment.
Is this form used to determine US tax withholding or is it used to forward payment to a foreign financial institution. I am struggling with how to fill out this for.

She is a Canadian Citizen and resident. And is consulting as an individual person and not within a company.

Hi mbajada,
It is important to clarify whether these forms are intended to determine U.S. tax withholding or to forward payments to a foreign financial institution. Understanding how to properly complete this form is important to ensure proper payment processing and tax compliance.

W-8BEN is correct form for her to use
