the status of a payee or a beneficial owner as a U.S. person or a foreign person and other

person or a U.S. person.

If the payee is a U.S. person, then the withholding agent has a different legal duty.

a U.S. person, the income being paid belongs to a foreign person.

At this point, perhaps we should know who is a U.S. person.

So who is this guy called a U.S. person?

The definition of U.S. person appears at 26 U.S.E. 7701A30 and reads, the term United

But here's the thing, U.S. person is used in many different areas of U.S. law, and in

When U.S. person is used in the context of classified documents law, it differentiates

Clearly, U.S. person has a different contextual application concerning classified documents

A U.S. person has a very different legal obligation under the laws that prohibit the transfer

Then does U.S. person in tax matters or laws pertaining to classified documents?

So then, what does it mean to be a U.S. person in tax law?

Congress placed the term U.S. person into tax law in 1962, in the more than six decades

Every time U.S. person appears in a statute or regulation, it is addressing U.S. source

Phrased another way, every time U.S. person appears in a statute or regulation, it is

First of all, up at the top, we've got U.S. Person.

So Apple is sending it to a U.S. person.

Now, Apple doesn't know because we know U.S. person is somebody who is involved in the

U.S. person and is therefore involved in the flow of U.S. source income to its foreign person.

The investment firm is a U.S. person, a payor, and a withholding agent.

The law firm is a U.S. person and a withholding agent and a payor.

So, again, U.S. person are the first three.

They're all U.S. persons.

as well as the role of U.S. persons and withholding agents

Use form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person.

Now that you know what a U.S. person is, how can you sign a W-9?

The other is the Business Handbook for Form W-9, 1099, and U.S. Person,

And the term is U.S. person.

People read it as a U.S. person is to do that,

and a U.S. person is to do the other.

They say, oh, look, U.S. person, that's me.

The term U.S. person was introduced into tax law in 1962

A U.S. person is the shorthand for, and I mentioned this earlier,

it says in the instructions is to be used exclusively by a U.S. person.

U.S. person, yeah, that's me.

Hell, I'm an American. I'm proud to be a U.S. person.

What in fact, a U.S. person is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident

So, a U.S. person basically means you're the middleman

Okay, so if I'm a U.S. person, this intermediary,

say Form W-9 is only to be used by a U.S. person. Remember when I said earlier that the best way to

applying the dictionary definition? U.S. person is a perfect example. I imagine pretty much every

American would consider him or herself a U.S. person. Hell, I bet some people read U.S. person

in the W-9 instructions and proudly think hell yeah that's me I'm a U.S. person. That guy or gal

would probably be surprised and I hope angry to learn that the legal term U.S. person was introduced

where U.S. person has been used in any other context. Not one in 61 years. If you've been

made to a U.S. person but belonging to a foreign person

from a U.S. person who is receiving U.S. source income

because the payee is a U.S. person.

if the customer is a U.S. person,

a U.S. person making a payment

If the U.S. person has no reason to believe

as made directly to any U.S. person

and such U.S. person is not an exempt recipient,

the payor must treat the U.S. person as the payee

a withholding agent may treat as a U.S. person a payee

I shared them with you because they discuss U.S. persons

to be considered a U.S. person,

would fall on the U.S. person receiving the payment.

of U.S. source income from the original payor to a U.S. person

used to show U.S. person status to a withholding agent

we know that the payment is being made to a U.S. person

3406 is saying the presumptive U.S. person

in order to verify U.S. person status to the payor,

and if the presumptive U.S. person does not provide a tin

day is the 7701A30, which is U.S. person. Such a vague term. It first appeared in legislation

of the term U.S. person. Because Americans, most Americans consider themselves patriotic,

and it says a U.S. person is liable for, or a U.S. person must do. And the good-hearted American

says, well, I'm a U.S. person, God damn it. You know I am. I served my country. I went to war.

I came back. I pay my taxes. I'm a U.S. person. So I got to do all this stuff because I'm a good

U.S. person. So in tax law, none of that applies. No, you don't. The meaning of U.S. person in tax

law, and every single time U.S. person appears any place in the statutes or the regulations

U.S. person because the flow of U.S. source income, in this case, originating from Apple,

So the investment firm is the U.S. person. Now, let's take a different example. Let's say I,

There is no U.S. person in that transaction because there is no U.S. source income flowing

to a foreign person. That's the definition of U.S. person. And because of the way Americans see this

U.S. person in particular has, it was brilliantly evil on behalf of the legislative draftsman over

it says, they say, oh, well, just kind of like U.S. person, I'm involved in trader business,

As you'll see below, a Form W-9 is only to be filled out and signed by a U.S. person

that that's a very specific term in law, a U.S. person who is moving U.S. source income

I'm going to mail you the highly informative business handbook for forms W-9 1099 in U.S. person.

terms like U.S. person, and the law says a U.S. person is to do this and a U.S. person is to do

patriotic aspect, right? Hell yeah, I'm a patriotic American, so I must be a U.S. person.

Well, the reality is U.S. person, like many of the other terms we've talked about today,

has its own definition. The term U.S. person was introduced in a tax law in 1962,

it says this form is only to be used by a U.S. person, okay? But you can imagine,

with the paradigm we just talked about, oh, I'm a U.S. person, I'd better sign this W-9 right now.

because it says a U.S. person has to sign this, and I'm a U.S. person, but they have no idea what

U.S. person actually means. By the way, U.S. person means different things in different areas of law,

entirely different meaning. So, and it's, by the way, you know all those, I think U.S. person is

next intermediary who's still a U.S. person, which would require another 1099 to be filed,

And that legal term was, in 1962 and remains to this very day, U.S. person.

or the legal term U.S. person, the secretary of the treasury came out with a slew of regulations

I want to make clear, in 58 years, the term U.S. person in the tax code, in the tax regulations,

That is the one, the sole, the only reference for U.S. person in the 58 years since that

Use Form W-9 to request the taxpayer identification number of a, yeah, U.S. person.

And as we just discussed, the U.S. person isn't legal term.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person, including a resident alien, to provide your

number of a U.S. person.

So then, what is a U.S. person?

To keep it short, a U.S. person is a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, or a domestic entity

Also, as just mentioned, it can only be signed by a U.S. person.

If the signer is not a foreign person, then he, she, it is a U.S. person, which, as you

all this talk about being a foreigner versus being a U.S. person?

Second, the sentence uses U.S. payee rather than U.S. person.

Because U.S. person can be either a payor or a payee.

Here, the Secretary is clarifying that the U.S. person in the sentence is a payee.

The W-9 is to be used only by a U.S. person.

A U.S. person completes the W-9, gives it to a withholding agent, and the withholding

I hope it's clear to you at this point that a U.S. person signs a form W-9 for the purpose

So then, what is the role of this U.S. person in that process?

In this scenario, Apple, the brokerage firm, and the law firm are all U.S. persons involved

because tax law states that every U.S. person in the pipeline of U.S. source income moving

to its foreign owner is a withholding agent without regard to which U.S. person ends up

income from its origin point, Apple, to the second U.S. person in the pipeline, the brokerage

not request a W-9 from the next U.S. person in the pipeline because there's no longer

point of origin to whichever U.S. person ends up doing the withholding.

Form 1099 communicates to the IRS that to which the U.S. person swore on the W-9.

Because the W-9 is used exclusively by a U.S. person to attest, under penalty of perjury,

If you were thinking a 1099 tells the IRS that you're a U.S. person who received U.S.

a U.S. person who received U.S. source income as it moved from its origin point to its
