Form W-8 Validation Requirements

CPE 1.0

Webcast

Webcast overview

Validating Forms W-8, particularly treaty claims, can be complex, and failing to catch an issue can result in underwithholding exposure as well as penalties and interest. 

KPMG LLP is pleased to invite you to a one-hour webcast that will review the validation requirements for Forms W-8BEN and W-8BEN-E. Professionals from the KPMG Information Reporting & Withholding Tax Services and Washington National Tax will discuss:

  • General validation requirements for Forms W-8BEN and BEN-E
  • U.S. indicia curing requirements
  • Ways to remediate invalid Forms W-8 utilizing an affidavit of unchanged status

Continuing education

There will be one continuing professional education (CPE) credit available to participants who participate in the live webcast and meet the eligibility requirements. The webcast will last approximately one hour.

After registering for this event, you will receive webcast log‑in instructions (or dial in for audio‑only participation).

CPE credit is not available for viewing webcast replay.
