Instructions for the Requester of Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, and W-8IMY 06 2022 Internal Revenue Service
If you are making a withholdable payment, you may choose to provide a substitute form that does not include all of the chapter 4 statuses provided on the Form W-8, but the substitute form must include any chapter 4 status for which withholding may apply. You should request Form W-8BEN from any foreign individual for any of the purposes described previously in these instructions. A foreign reverse hybrid entity is an entity that is a corporation for U.S. tax purposes but is fiscally transparent under the tax laws of a country with which the United States has an income tax treaty. If a foreign reverse hybrid entity is receiving a withholdable payment and is not claiming treaty benefits on behalf of any of its owners, you should obtain only a Form W-8BEN-E from the entity to establish its chapter 4 status. If you are an FFI documenting an account holder that is an individual and you are not making a payment of a reportable amount to such account holder, you may use a non-IRS form rather than a substitute Form W-8BEN.
If you’re one of the many people who like to do their taxes on their own, you’re in luck. The IRS offers a wide variety of printable tax forms and instructions. You cannot file Form I-485 or Form I-129F online at this time. Please see our Form I-485 and Form I-129F pages for current filing information, and refer to the form instructions for specific instructions on completing each of these forms.
If a Form W-8 is valid except that the person providing the form has not dated the form, you may date the form from the day you receive it and measure the validity period from that date. Generally, you may treat a withholding certificate as valid if it contains an error or omission that is inconsequential and you have sufficient documentation on file to supplement the missing information. However, a failure to establish an entity type or make a required certification is not inconsequential. File Form 1099-C in the year following the calendar year in which the identifiable event occurs. If you cancel a debt before an identifiable event occurs, you may choose to file Form 1099-C for the year of cancellation.
Part V. Other Expenses. Line 48

Therefore, you must report attorneys’ fees (in box 1 of Form 1099-NEC) or gross proceeds (in box 10 of Form 1099-MISC), as described earlier, to corporations that provide legal services. The Internal Revenue Service develops forms and instructions that explain the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and regulations.
Purpose of Instructions
If the winner chooses an annuity, file Form 1099-MISC each year to report the annuity paid during that year. If you are required to file Form 1099-MISC, you must furnish a statement to the recipient. Death benefits from nonqualified deferred compensation plans or section 457 plans paid to the estate or beneficiary of a deceased employee are reportable on Form 1099-MISC.

If, in the same calendar year, you cancel a debt of $600 or more in connection with a foreclosure or abandonment of secured property, it is not necessary to file both Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, and Form 1099-C for the same debtor. You will meet your Form 1099-A filing requirement for the debtor by completing boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. However, you may file both Forms 1099-A and 1099-C; if you do file both forms, do not complete boxes 4, 5, and 7 on Form 1099-C. See the Specific Instructions for Form 1099-A , earlier, and Box 4.
Rental real estate activity.
You are engaged in a trade or business if you operate for gain or profit. However, nonprofit organizations are considered to be engaged in a trade or business and are subject to these reporting requirements. Payments by federal, state, or local government agencies are also reportable. An entity claiming a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax treaty that contains a limitation on benefits (LOB) article must identify the LOB provision that it satisfies by checking one of the boxes on line 14b. In general, the entity is only required to check one box, even if it satisfies more than one provision.
The certifications in Part III must be included only if treaty benefits are claimed, and then only to the extent that the certifications are required. See Alternative Certifications Under an Applicable IGA, earlier, for circumstances in which the chapter 4 certifications may be replaced with alternative certifications. In such a case, a withholding statement is not required. In certain cases, a GIIN may be required based on the chapter 4 status claimed on the form.

If an entity receiving a withholdable payment selects a certified deemed-compliant FFI status on line 5 of Form W-8BEN-E but does not complete the corresponding required certifications in Part V, the form is invalid for chapter 4 purposes. If you answered “No” on line G, the passive activity loss rules may apply. First, complete Form 6198 to figure the amount of your profit or (loss) for the at-risk activity, which may include amounts reported on other forms and schedules, and the at-risk amount for the activity. Follow the Instructions for Form 6198 to determine how much of your Schedule C loss will be allowed. After you figure the amount of your loss that is allowed under the at-risk rules, you may need to complete Form 8582 to figure the passive activity loss to enter on line 31.
