Largo Local Business Tax Polk County Form

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/...

WHOA! You may have a BIG problem. When you started, are you certain you did not fill in a W-4 form? Are you certain that your employer doesn’t have your SS#? If that’s the case, I would be alarmed. Do you have paycheck stubs showing how they calculated your withholding? ( BTW you are entitled to those under the law, and if you are not receiving them, I would demand them….)If your employer is just giving you random checks with no calculation of your wages and withholdings, you have a rogue employer. They probably aren’t payin in what they purport to withhold from you.

Well I thought that I shouldn't fill that and when I applied, I didn't. However an immigration attorney later told me that it was a mistake to not fill that up. I didn't agreed with him though.I don't have any arguments in favour or against it, but definitely it says if you are an employee so I strongly believe it should be skipped.But on other hand, how do Visa officer knows that how much you are earning ?Tough situation so maybe more consultants need to share their opinion.

First, the LLC operates as tax partnership (“TP”) as the default tax status if no election has been made as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(i). For legal purposes, we have a LLC. For tax purposes we have a tax partnership. Since we are discussing a tax issue here, we will discuss the issue from the perspective of a TP.A partner cannot under any circumstances be an employee of the TP as Revenue Ruling 69-184 dictated such. And, the 2016 preamble to Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2T notes the Treasury still supports this revenue ruling.Though a partner can engage in a transaction with the TP in a non partner capacity (Section 707a(a)).A partner receiving a 707(a) payment from the partnership receives the payment as any stranger receives a payment from the TP for services rendered. This partner gets treated for this transaction as if he/she were not a member of the TP (Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(a).As an example, a partner owns and operates a law firm specializing in contract law. The TP requires advice on terms and creation for new contracts the TP uses in its business with clients. This partner provides a bid for this unique job and the TP accepts it. Here, the partner bills the TP as it would any other client, and the partner reports the income from the TP client job as he/she would for any other client. The TP records the job as an expense and pays the partner as it would any other vendor. Here, I am assuming the law contract job represents an expense versus a capital item. Of course, the partner may have a law corporation though the same principle applies.Further, a TP can make fixed payments to a partner for services or capital — called guaranteed payments as noted in subsection (c).A 707(c) guaranteed payment shows up in the membership agreement drawn up by the business attorney. This payment provides a service partner with a guaranteed payment regardless of the TP’s income for the year as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(c).As an example, the TP operates an exclusive restaurant. Several partners contribute capital for the venture. The TP’s key service partner is the chef for the restaurant. And, the whole restaurant concept centers on this chef’s experience and creativity. The TP’s operating agreement provides the chef receives a certain % profit interest but as a minimum receives yearly a fixed $X guaranteed payment regardless of TP’s income level. In the first year of operations the TP has low profits as expected. The chef receives the guaranteed $X payment as provided in the membership agreement.The TP allocates the guaranteed payment to the capital interest partners on their TP k-1s as business expense. And, the TP includes the full $X guaranteed payment as income on the chef’s K-1. Here, the membership agreement demonstrates the chef only shares in profits not losses. So, the TP only allocates the guaranteed expense to those partners responsible for making up losses (the capital partners) as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 707-1(c) Example 3. The chef gets no allocation for the guaranteed expense as he/she does not participate in losses.If we change the situation slightly, we may change the tax results. If the membership agreement says the chef shares in losses, we then allocate a portion of the guaranteed expense back to the chef following the above treasury regulation.As a final note, a TP return requires knowledge of primary tax law if the TP desires filing a completed an accurate partnership tax return.I have completed the above tax analysis based on primary partnership tax law. If the situation changes in any manner, the tax outcome may change considerably. www.rst.tax
