This program will focus on what U.S. financial institutions must do in the tax reporting and documentation process for FATCA. We’ll do a line-by-line review of important forms and the subsequent tax reporting to the IRS, and also look at the impact of 1042S reporting changes for nonresident aliens.
Your job as a withholding agent has never been so important! The W-9 and W-8BENs forms emphasize your vital role in the tax reporting chain that affects this country and accounts for U.S. persons overseas. In this webinar, we’ll go in-depth on these forms to elevate your understanding. We’ll also answer common questions, such as What is a nonresident alien? and What if there is no country address? You’ll also come away with a basic understanding of FATCA and how it impacts your institution.
