Episode notes
Narrow Tax Law Applicability
- The IRS income tax code specifically targets certain U.S. citizens and residents as agents for non-resident aliens with U.S. source income.
- Tax law applies narrowly, not universally, contrary to common belief about income tax applicability to all U.S. citizens.
Meaning of "U.S. Person"
- The legal term "U.S. person" was introduced in 1962 specifically for tax purposes regarding agents of non-resident aliens' U.S. source income.
- For 58 years, this term exclusively describes such agents, not all citizens or residents.
Filing Form W-9 Means Agent Status
- Filling out a Form W-9 declares under penalty of perjury that you act as a U.S. agent for a foreign person receiving U.S. source income.
- This implies those who file W-9s are treated as U.S. persons representing non-resident aliens in tax terms.
