Form 110 - Designation of Exempt Person (and Instructions)

That (quote from Investopedia) is "kosher pig poop seasoned with hen's teeth"--it just ain't so. The W8 is for anyone who is not citizen or national of the United States. Many banks may refuse to or are unable to provide bank accounts which are non-interest bearing which can result in reportable income for U.S. residents or U.S. citizens. A W8 or substitute document can be utilized by anyone who is not a citizen or national of the United States to assert their foreign status. The W8 can be utilized in any U.S. situation where there is or could be income. This is important considering that that one can be, say, a Texan and be foreign to the United States.



The term "American citizen" means U.S. citizen.

The term "American citizen" means U.S. citizen....also means national of the United States.......no distinction among the 3 terms.


And true.....a Texan would be foreign to the United States....just as the invading usurper "United States" is foreign to the Nation "Texas".

That may be the case though I don't recall any statutory definition showing American citizen (U.S. citizen or citizen of the United States) to include U.S. nationals (but it could). The key distinction worth noting, IMHO, is whether or not one regarded to be a citizen of the United States is in fact a "person born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States".

P.S. Florida government officials are on record referring to Florida as a nation.
