Purple Heart Tax Receipt 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/...

I strongly recommend purchasing a tax program, Turbo tax, H&R block etc.These programs will ask you questions and they will fill out the forms for you.You just print it out and mail it in. (with a check, if you owe anything)I used to use an accountant but these programs found more deductions.

Some examples of U.S. persons include an individual who is a U.S. citizen or a U.S. resident alien. Partnerships, corporations, companies, or associations created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States are also U.S. persons.If you are not a U.S. person you should not use this form.

I hate when people ask a question, then rather than answer, someone jumps in and tells them they don't need to know--but today, I will be that guy, because this is serious.Why oh why do you think you can do this yourself?Two things to consider:People who get a masters degree in Accounting then go get a CPA then start doing taxes--only then do some of them start specializing in international accounting.  I've taught Accounting at the college-level, have taken tax classes beyond that, and wouldn't touch your return.Tax professionals generally either charge by the form or by the hour. Meaning you can sit and do this for 12 hours, or you can pay a CPA by the hour to do it, or you can go to an H&R Block that has flat rates and will do everything but hit Send for free.  So why spend 12 hours doing it incorrectly, destined to worry about the IRS putting you in jail, bankrupting you, or deporting you for the next decade when you can get it done professionally for $200-$300?No, just go get it done right.
