Filling up W-8BEN tax information!!!

[surajgurung1]

Hi all,

I just need your help regarding W-8BEN tax information. Actually I don't have IT file beacsue I don't need. I am a freelancer and I don't earn that much which crosses the limit of IT. So in that what information should I share with Upwork IT formalities i.e. W-8BEN tax information.

Please advise.

Thank you

Suraj

Hi Suraj,

In order to be able to withdraw your earnings, you will need to fill out our W8-BEN form as a Non-US resident. There's no need to have a company you can fill out the form with your own information. Thank you.

Thank you

The Form W-8BEN is a form used to confirm you’re not a U.S. taxpayer and that Upwork is not required to withhold taxes from your earnings. To provide Upwork with your Form W-8BEN information please follow the steps below:
