I am starting work as an Independent Contractor using my EAD. I have been asked to fill a W-9 form. Can any one tell me if I need to fill a W-8 form also?

Thanks

If you registered your business as a sole proprietership, you dont have to worry about W-8.

Pl check with your CPA to be sure if your business does not require a W-8 to be filed with IRS.

You have to fille W-9 as your 1099 would be generated based on the information you provide on it.
