Tax Form W-8BEN

[Rachel27]

I already filed Form W-8BEN in payout preferences, which I assume will exempt me from withholding tax deuctionsn from my income. However, in the list of future transactions, withholding tax is still being deducted. Why is this?

According to this I think you can use our SIN.  I've read that you can also leave the portion about special rates blank.  See the website.

This was very helpful!

Hopefully my newly completed form, without the hassle of getting an ITIN, will work!

Looks like there's a much easier solution! See below.

I continue to have the same problem with Airbnb. The have with held 30% of my earnings.  I was told that I did not provide a signature.  I signed it electronically.  Now they are telling me to resubmit, even though it was done correctly the first time.  I re-do it and try to submit but site won't take it.  Very frustrating!  They still are with holding my money.

Hi I'm in the same place of you, did you solve that problem?

It looks like nothing but a temporary issue. I had a vice versa when trying to submit with the third-party service my w9 form: https://w9.pdffiller.com/ It was showing like I didn't send them any. So I contacted support and the issue was resolved in days. Have you contacted them?
