considered a U.S. person if you are:
. An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
. A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or
organized in the United States or under the laws of the United
States,
. An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
. A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section
301.7701-7). '
Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a
trade or business in the United States are generally required to
pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners' share of income
from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9
has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that
a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax.
Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a
partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States,
provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S.
status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership
income.
The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for
purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding
on its allocable share of net income from the partnership
conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the
following cases:
