The W-9 reflects the 24% back up withholding rate. During this program, we will do a line-by-line review of the W-9 and W-8BEN forms and the subsequent tax reporting to the IRS. This program will focus on what a US financial institution has to do from the tax reporting and documentation process. We will also look at the impact on 1042S reporting changes for nonresident aliens.
