Question

How do I onboard a foreign contractor using IRS Form W-8BEN/W-8BEN-E in lieu of a W-9?

Our company engages in contractors both foreign and domestic. How do we onboard those foreign contractors into Quickbooks, as they are not required to possess a Social Security Number and thus, not eligible to receive a W-9?

The most efficient method is to manually submit the required forms to the IRS since the capability to onboard a foreign contractor is unavailable, @sean105.

 

This approach ensures that the proper documents will be filed accurately.
