[help] cpa w8-ben

Merry Christmas to all fellow BHW members..

i signed up with Azoogle today and i was told to file the W8-BEN before i could start so here are a couple of things that i'm confused about HELP will be much appreciated.

W8-BEN IRS form link for convenience.

1. W8-BEN Part 1, Line 6
i can't file a SSN as i'm not in the US so do i have to file an ITIN with IRS before i file a W8-BEN with them?

2. W8-BEN Part 2, Line 9
As i'm a foreign individual i only have to check the check box 9a and 9b if i have a ITIN number. am i right???

W8-BEN Part 3, Line 11
i just don't understand what is being asked here please explain should i check this box???

W8-BEN Part 4,
the very last field of the W8-BEN asks me "capacity in which acting" should i write beneficial owner here??


Guys i know today was not the right day but like always you guys have been there for me.

thank you in advance
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I know that this is a very old thread but I have now the same problem as the OP.
Would anyone care to help ?

Here you have how you need to fill it exactly if you are not from the usa, fill only what is written dont write anything in the blank spaces, i filled it this way and it worked perfectly fine, hope it helps
