Doing tax form as a student

The instructions for W-8 BEN tell me to use the form 8233 when roblox requires W-8 BEN?
What should I do?
Should I let my parents do the form?
should I do the form anyways and if so how do I complete Line 10?

I’m from italy (not US) and I use W-8BEN, you can skip some lines for example I skipped line 10 too, but they will tell you if the form works or not, this form is just needed for them so you can pay the percentage of commission and it’s not needed for taxes in your country. (my parents filled the form for me because I’m under 18 and some informations might be wrong, I don’t really know) but here’s the website with the instructions Instructions for Form W-8BEN (10/2021) | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)

thank you, so ill just ask my parents to do it for me? Can you ask for your parents if the beneficial owner should be my parent’s name or my name?

the beneficial owner is the person who will receive the money for example my parents receive the money so they are the beneficial owner (again, not 100% sure, but you can search on google how it works)
