On not being a US person Oct 14, 2021

So, now, the fact that you work for a US company may be made available to your bank in France, which may decide that you are a "US person" and close your accounts.

Good luck.

The point of the W8-BEN form is to provide evidence that you are not a "US person".

IANAL, but you must fill in part 1 and part 4. Leave part 2 and 3 empty.



As ever, Samuel, you are a great help. I've spent a good 30 minutes googling how to fill this in. The instructions provided by the IRS are so horribly complicated that they were not help at all. Yours are the only instructions that make sense! Thank you.
