arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the Certification, but you must

Purpose of Form Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien.

A person who is required to file an information return with
the IRS, must obtain your correct taxpayer identification
number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real
estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition
or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or
contributions you made to an IRA.
U.S. person. Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person
(including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the
person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:
1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are
waiting for a number to be issued),
2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding,
or
3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a
U.S. exempt payee.
Note: If a requester gives you a for m other than Form W-9
to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is
substantially similar to this For m W-9.
Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, use the
appropriate Form W-8 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on
Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).
Cat. No. 10231X
Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the
terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on
certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a
provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified
in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to
continue for certain types of income even after the recipient
has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.
If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an
exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to
claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income,
you must attach a statement that specifies the following five
items:
1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same
treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a
nonresident alien.
2. The treaty article addressing the income.
3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that
contains the saving clause and its exceptions.
4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the
exemption from tax.
5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under
the terms of the treaty article.
Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2003)
Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2003)
Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty
allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income
received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the
United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a
resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United
States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of
the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30,
1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply
even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of
the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this
exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is
relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on
his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to
Form W-9 a statement that includes the information
described above to support that exemption.
If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not
subject to backup withholding, give the requester the
appropriate completed Form W-8.
What is backup withholding? Persons making certain
payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and
pay to the IRS 30% of such payments (29% after December
31, 2003; 28% after December 31, 2005). This is called
“backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to
backup withholding include interest, dividends, broker and
barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee
pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real
estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.
You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments
you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make
the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest
and dividends on your tax return.
Payments you receive will be subject to backup
withholding if:
1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester, or
2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part
II instructions on page 4 for details), or
3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an
incorrect TIN, or
4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup
withholding because you did not report all your interest and
dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and
dividends only), or
5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not
subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable
interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).
Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup
withholding. See the instructions below and the separate
Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.
Penalties
Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN
to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each
such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause
and not to willful neglect.
Civil penalty for false information with respect to
withholding. If you make a false statement with no
reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you
are subject to a $500 penalty.
Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully
falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to
criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.
Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in
violation of Federal law, the requester may be subject to civil
and criminal penalties.

Privacy Act Notice

Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code requires you to provide your correct TIN to persons who must file information returns
with the IRS to report interest, dividends, and certain other income paid to you, mortgage interest you paid, the acquisition or
abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA or Archer MSA. The IRS uses the
numbers for identification purposes and to help verify the accuracy of your tax return. The IRS may also provide this information
to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia to carry out their
tax laws. We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, or to Federal and state agencies to enforce
Federal nontax criminal laws and to combat terrorism.
You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Payers must generally withhold 30% of taxable
interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to a payer. Certain penalties may also apply.
