Hello Everyone,
This is Hashim Taylor. This is regarding the Tax Forms at CJ.
There are 2 types of forms, - W9 and W8
Since we live in India (or anywhere outside USA), we need to fill up the W8BEN form. W8BEN is a proof that we are not USA people and have no link from USA so that our income should not be deducted from the applied taxes in the USA (i.e. 30%)
The form is available for free at Internat Revenue Sources website i.e. http://www.irs.gov
CJ does this favour, you recieves the form enclosed in your first account information mail from CJ!
If you have trouble understanding the fields on the form, I suggest you downloading the instructions booklet available for free at http://www.irs.gov or you can mail me for the .PDF file at help@hashimtaylor.com and I'll be more then happy to help you.
Furthermore, If you have sent the Tax form to CJ, You will NOT be notified for the submission of the form since CJ do not have any technology till date to inform you for the receiving for the same. However, Your payments will NOT be withhold even of you have NOT sent the tax form.
Hope this helped you understanding tax forms better.
At your service,
Hashim Taylor
