AdSense Questions

[Veolus]

:hi:

I'm really frustrated with Adsense at the moment and i just don't know what to do for this tax form...

I live in Australia and i filled out the multiple choice questions and ended up at this page:

IRS Form W-8 ECI
Certificate of Foreign Person's Claim for Exemption From Withholding on Income Effectively Connected With the Conduct of a Trade or Business in the United States

Permanent residence address. Do not use a P.O. Box.
Street Address:
City:
State, province or region:
Zip or postal code, if appropriate:
Country:

5 Business address in the United States. Do not use a P.O. Box.
Street Address:
City:
State:
Zip code:

6 U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number (required - see instructions)

SSN or ITIN EIN

7 Foreign Tax Identifying Number, if any (optional)

8 Reference number(s) (see instructions)

9 Specify each item of income that is, or is expected to be, received from the payer that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.


====================================================

I can't fill some of those fields in because i don't live in the US! Do you think i did something wrong? Where can i find the proper form for Australian adsense users this damn thing is so frustrating!

Thanks in advance! :notme:

Google may be required to withhold 30% of your earnings until you file a form stating you are a non-US citizen.

To get a IITN number you just have to fill out a W-7 form and submit it to the IRS. You'll get one in 4-6 weeks and you only have to do this once in your lifetime.

Here's the link. (Alert: pdf file)

Hey RJ, regarding the form, I'm confused about the first part "Reason you are submitting Form W-7"

I don't know which one to pick I don't want to pick the wrong answer :lol:

There are also other parts of the form which i cannot fill out I am completely frustrated now I think i have just wasted my time with Adsense and i'm getting close to the $100 payout This is not fair!!

I think i'll go with Bidvertiser..

I'm pretty sure you need to pick the first option. Filing to obtain treaty benefits / not eligible for SSN.

I'm from Aus and I don't have to fill out any tax forms...I think you clicked the wrong option when using that tax form qizard thing. Make sure you clearly state that you have nothing to do with the US and nor do your websites.

Yes, I wasn't asked about any tax form. Just click the option which states 'you are not a U.S. citizen and you do not have any U.S. activities.'

Thanks, I'll try having a look around and seeing what i can find
