Tax treaty withholding exemption request form (Form 8223 or W-9)

好像W9是给F1的.

楼上的几个说的都不太准确啊。

申请前5000免税的表格有W9（我们学校是来的时候只要填一次，更换地址要填），W8-BEN（更改title的时候要填似乎，例如TA转RA）, 8233（每年都要填）

申请后报税前收到的是1042-S。

There are two most common forms to elect tax treaty:

Form 8233 and Form W-8BEN.

Form 8233 is used to elect tax treaty for employment wages and must be made annually. Form W-8BEN is used to elect tax treaty for stipends and qualified scholarships (i.e. Tuition). The Form W-8BEN is valid for three years.

Note: it's Form 8233 (not 8223)

谢谢楼上的各位~

俺心里有数了！

周一去payroll!!

One more question: does OPT also counted as F1?

When I'm in OPT, can I still get $5000 tax-free?

thanks
