EU student in the US; Tax payer?

[paladinicole]

Hello everyone,

I am new on Upwork & currently an international student in the US, while my permanent residency is in Europe. I am also paying US taxes through my receiving a university stipend.

What info should I update on the issue of tax residency/ VAT payer and the W-8BEN?

Thanks so much!

Have a good day.

Hi Nicole,

If you are not clear on whether you can use Upwork to find and perform services for clients and what tax documentation you may need to complete, you may wish to discuss your situation with an immigration attorney or other trusted advisor.

Unfortunately we can't provide tax advise or advise you on whether you are eligible to work on Upwork. Regardless of where you are living, you are responsible for ensuring you can lawfully do so. If you do not have the proper authorization, you may not use Upwork.Thanks again for reaching out.

Hi Nikola,

Thanks so much for your answer. I am allowed to work part-time on my student visa, but was unclear on the taxes' documentation. 

Thanks!
