tax advice on w9 and w8

I need some advice on tax issue that I have....

I earn some decent money with CPA marketing which I submit w9 forms in order to get paid.

However, I also using both US and non-US freelancer for marketing and JV purposes.

How do I deduct for those people that I used. I heard that for non-US freelancer, I have ask them to fill out w8 forms but what if they're not filling that form, then am I liable to file tax for all the earning from CPA company.

It's been almost week now and no tips yet.... guys help me out on this!

Ask for the w8 before you pay them.

Hi Godang, I cannot give you any legal advice. There are two things you have to do.


If you've paid them more than $600, then ask to fill out W-8BEN form (for NON-US) and 1099 form (for US residents).


Good luck, mate.
