Form 8379, the Injured Spouse declaration, is used to ensure that a spouse’s share of a refund from a joint tax return is not used by the IRS as an offset to pay a tax obligation of the other spouse.Before you file this, make sure that you know the difference between this and the Innocent Spouse declaration, Form 8857. You use Form 8379 when your spouse owes money for a legally enforeceable tax debt (such as a student loan which is in default) for which you are not jointly liable. You use Form 8857 when you want to be released from tax liability for an understatement of tax that resulted from actions taken by your spouse of which you had no knowledge, and had no reason to know.As the other answers have specified, you follow the Instructions for Form 8379 (11/2016) on the IRS Web site to actually fill it out.

You are required to complete a Form W-8BEN if you are a non-resident alien and earned Royalty income (in this case) from a US-based source.The purpose of the form is to alert the IRS to the fact you are earning income from the US, even though you are not a citizen or a resident of the US. The US is entitled to tax revenues from your US-based earnings and would, without the form, have no way of knowing about you or your income.To ensure they receive their “fair” share, they require the payor to withhold 30% of the payment due to you, before issuing a check for the remainder to you. If they don’t withhold and/don’t report the payment to you, they may not be able to deduct the payment as an expense, and are subject to penalties for failing to withhold - not to mention forced to pay the 30% amount over and above what they pay to you. They therefore will not release any payment without receiving the Form W-8BEN.Now, Nepal happens not to have a tax treaty with the US. If it did and you were subject to Nepalese taxes on that income, you could claim a credit for the taxes paid to another country, up to the entire amount of the tax. Even still, you are entitled to file a US Form 1040N, as the withholding is charged on the gross proceeds and there may be expenses that can be deducted from that amount before arriving at the actual tax due. In that way, you may be entitled to a refund of some or all of the backup withholding.That is another reason why you file the form - it allows you to file a return in order to apply for a refund.In order to complete the form, you can go to the IRS website to read the instructions, or simply go here: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...

How do they know to request a W-8 instead of a W-9? Are you Foreign?Assuming you need to submit a W-8 instead of a W-9, here are the questions to guide your W-8 decision.Do you have other members in your LLC? If you are the only member, a Single Member LLC is a Disregarded Entity taxed on your personal tax return. So you would submit the W-8BEN.If you have other members, are you subject to the default status or have you elected corporate status?If you are subject to the default status, your LLC is taxed as a partnership so submit the W-8IMYIf you elected Corporate status, submit the W-8BEN-E.https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/...Other great answers here. Especially good advice from Carl and Mark, get to a CPA.

It would not be a problem to file 1040-NR without the 8843. After all, the purpose of the 8843 is to exclude days of presence in the USA for the purposes of the Substantial Presence Test. If none of the days during the tax year qualifies for exclusion do not attach the form.
