I'm an international Taiwanese student with an F1 Visa in Illinois. Recently I've sold 50 books on Amazon for $3,000. Amazon requested that I file a W-8BEN form for them.  Does filing the W-8BEN form have any effect on my tax liability?  Also, do I need to report this information to the IRS and pay taxes at the end of the year? If yes, do I have to do it myself or Amazon will do it for me?  If I do need to do it myself, what form should I file?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

Since your have an F-1 Visa and you're from Taiwan, you would need to complete the W-8BEN form for Amazon. You are considered a non resident alien and would need to file form 1040NR for tax purposes.
