<br />Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S.
<br />person if you are:
<br />• An individual who la a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,
<br />• A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the
<br />United States or under the laws of the United States,
<br />• An estate (other than a foreign estate), or
<br />• A domestic trust (as defined In Regulations section 301.7701-7).
<br />Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business In
<br />the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section
<br />1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from
<br />such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received,
<br />the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a
<br />foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a
<br />U.S. person that Is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the
<br />United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status
<br />and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.
