    First year in the us L1B : W9 or W8BEN
    Hi,

    I just move in the US with a L1B visa last October 2012. I do not have any main residence in my country of origin so I am trying to understand if I am supposed to fill a W8BEN form or a W9 form.

    On W8BEN form, they required a residence outside of the US that I do not have anymore.

    Thanks for your help.

    The W-8BEN does NOT apply to you due to your L-1 visa; submit Form W-9 and enter your U.S. address.

    Are you married?
