US Tax Royalty and Investment Income Refunds
If you are a foreign musician or author and you receive royalties from the US then your publisher will deduct 30% tax from your royalties unless you file a form W8-Ben with the withholding agent and claim a reduced tax rate specified by tax treaty. In order to file a W8-Ben form you must have an ITIN number, which is an Individual Taxpayer Identification number used by the IRS for tax purposes. If for some reason you do not supply your withholding agent with the ITIN number in time, or the agent does not reduce your tax rate to the proper rate as specified by tax treaty then you will have overpaid US taxes and be required to file a US Tax Return to recover the excess withholding tax paid.
If you are a foreign investor in the US that receives dividends or bank interest you could be paying too much withholding tax. US withholding agents often deduct tax at a 30% rate when in fact the rate should be lower by tax treaty on US Royalty and Investment Tax Refunds. In order to recoup the taxes withheld in error you will have to file a US Tax return to get your US Tax refunded.
US Royalty and Investment Tax Refunds that involve tax treaty positions are complex and require a tax professional that has experience in preparing these types of returns. Even if the return is prepared correctly the IRS often processes the tax return incorrectly and you need to appeal the decision based on tax treaty positions. If you prepare your own return or use a US tax preparer not accustomed to preparing tax returns for US non residents then the return will likely contain errors and your tax refund will not be as large as it should be.
