Form W-8BEN is for non-U.S. individuals (nonresident aliens) who receive income from a U.S. source, such as a U.S. company, broker, or bank. You typically give it to the payer or withholding agent, not the IRS, to confirm your foreign status and to claim a reduced rate under an income tax treaty if one applies.
