DevEx need Help with: Foreign Tax Form(W-8 BEN) taxpayer identification number (SSN or ITIN)

[efsane14010 (Legendary)]

Hi Im Legendary, its my first time Im going to be DevEx’ing so I need some help with filling out the form.

I want to fill out my DevEx Tax Form but Im unable to do it because I dont know how to fill out the Taxpayer Identification Number part. I dont know what both SSN and ITIN is. Is it possible for me to skip it ?

As I searched ITIN takes more than 7 weeks and I dont know if Im able to get it since im underaged.

I got 6 more days to complete the required information

This isn’t tax advice, but SSN and ITIN are identifiers for the US. SSN is given from Social Security Administration and ITIN is given by the IRS. You’ll want to use line 6a. Only use 6b if you’re certain. I’m not familiar with the non-US process, but it says “(see instructions)”, so, perhaps there are instructions on another page?

Devex W-8BEN Tax Form (Outside the US)

Sup! Disclaimer : I am no expert in any of this! So from what I researched, here’s what I can tell you: For line 5, I think you can leave this blank or just write N/A as you definitely do not have an SSN (Social Security Number for the US) and you cannot get a ITIN (Individual Tax Identifying Number) in the UAE as they don’t give out TINs to individuals as there isn’t any individual income tax (from what I know) For line 6a, leave this blank or as N/A as well, as… you cannot get an FTIN as an…

Currently I need a foreigner person who devex’s to verify if this is legit

6a is for non-US countries that provide a tax identification number, such as: UK → NIN, Canada → SIN, Australia → TFN, Philippines → TIN, Germany → Steuer-ID, India → PAN, etc. If your country does not have this, then you would leave it blank and check the box in 6b, but you should be absolutely certain about this.

Do you have a parent or legal guardian that can help you fill this out?

[efsane14010 (Legendary)]

Yeah I have one but am I supposed to fill the form with their information or my information?

The bank account, devex account, roblox account is all under my name

You should fill it out with your own information. Your parent or guardian will likely be able to help you with this, as a guide. You’ll need to find out what your tax identification number is in your country and put it in box 6a. Box 5 can be ignored. If your country does not have tax identification numbers, only then would you skip box 6a and mark the checkbox in box 6b.

Thanks, my country does have one! But its only for companies. So I would need to use my ID number (for my country its like that)

So Im sure this issue is fixed thanks to YOU!!!
