Trying to understand the Tax form W-8ECI

[Isabela1]

Hello,

I am filling out the taxpayer info as a non US citizen with a SSN.

Firstly, I am from Argentina currently residing in the US, and the form asks me to choose my country of residence: "If you are a corporation, enter the country of incorporation. If you are filing for another type of entity, enter the country under whose laws the entity is organized. If you are an individual, provide your country of residence for tax purposes." But United States is not included in the list of options. What do I do?

Secondly, the form asks me to "Specify each item of income that is or is expected to be received from the payer that effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the US" I am not sure what this is asking me to do.

Please help 🙂

Hi Isabela,

I'm an Austrian citizen, who recently moved to NYC and I have exactly the same problem.

Did you find an answer?

Thanks a lot 😉

Cheers,
