I was asked to submit my tax form

After completion of the form I was asked to submit u.s TIN and I'm not a u.s based.

How can I go about it?

    Hi @Felix718
    ,

    Thanks for reaching out. I'll be happy to assist you!

    Remember that you have some requirements depending on the form you sent us. These are the types of forms:

    • W-9: used by U.S. individuals and entities to certify their Tax ID number
    • W-8BEN: used by non-U.S. individuals to certify that they are a beneficial owner or a financial account-holder, and claim treaty benefits (Learn more).
    • W-8BEN-E: used by non-U.S. entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner or a financial account-holder, and claim treaty benefits

    We also support the ability to submit certain less-common types of forms manually by contacting our Support team directly:

    • W-8ECI: used by non-U.S. individuals or entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner receiving U.S.-sourced income that is effectively connected with U.S. trade or business
    • W-8EXP: used by non-U.S. governments or other tax-exempt entities to certify they’re a beneficial owner or a financial account holder
    • W-8IMY: used by non-U.S. entities to certify they’re an intermediary or flow-through entity receiving payments on behalf of another person

    For non-U.S. instructors, your TIN will be the tax identification number issued by your local government. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) provides a helpful page here, which details the names and formats that various countries use as TINs.

    If you're still unsure which number to provide, we recommend consulting a tax professional who can speak more directly about your situation.

    I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any additional questions regarding the Udemy platform.
