一篇paper得奖了，要求我填写W8 for u.s. resident or W9 for non u.s. resident
给他们。我是06年来美，刚刚受到一个notice说 you will be treated as a resident
for tax return purpose. (大意）。 W9表后也有个定义，说use W9 if you are a u
.s. person(including a resident alien)。那我现在应该填什么表？
W9表后又有一项说如果是resident alien要免税什么的，需要attach a statement to
Form W9 that specifies the following five items:
1. treaty country，中国
2. treaty article addressing the income，这是啥东西
3. article number in tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its
exceptions. 什么东西？$5000的那个？
4. type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax? $
5000?
5. sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the
treaty article. 什么facts？
领个奖这么麻烦，如果保税差的不多，我就non－resid了。。。。
有大牛给个指点么？
