Residency
- Select US Resident or provide information on legal residency and VISA type
- To comply with IRS tax reporting requirements/regulations the UW must gather residency information in order to make sure proper taxes are withheld, if required.
For example, all non-employee US residents are considered independent contractors and therefore they are responsible for their own tax withholding and reporting. Nonresident aliens one the other hand must have taxes withheld unless a tax treaty exists between the UW and their country. The UW must gather accurate residency information.
