Working from Europe for US company as not resident
Asked by: Rony - 22 July, 2011
Hi there
I would like to know if I need to fill out a special form as a non US Citizen like W9, W8 or 1099 if I am registered in Europe and doing my freelance business (graphic design) via Internet from Europe for a US company? How does it work?

Rony,
The form you need to fill out and submit to the US companies you do freelance work for is W-8BEN.
You can find the form here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf, and instructions here: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw8ben.pdf.
