Exemption From Withholding on Compensation for Independent (and Certain Dependent) Personal Services of a Nonresident Alien Individual

Rev. September 2018

Form 8233 is a tax treaty withholding exemption form used by nonresident alien individuals to claim exempt income for compensation for independent personal services performed in the United States. The form also allows individuals to claim exemption from withholding on noncompensatory scholarship or fellowship income and personal services income received from the same withholding agent. Part III of the form requires certification under penalties of perjury that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. person, is a resident of the treaty country listed on line 12a and/or 13b above within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country, or was a resident of the treaty country listed on line 12a and/or 13b above at the time of, or immediately prior to, entry into the United States, as required by the treaty. The form must be provided to any withholding agent that has control, receipt, or custody of the income of which the beneficial owner is the recipient.
