Reply to W-9 shown for single-member US LLC owned by a non-US individual — should be W-8BEN (disregarded entity)
Same issue here, still unresolved. Organization account. single-member LLC, disregarded entity, non-U.S. individual owner. App Store Connect only offers W-9. I cannot truthfully certify under penalties of perjury that I am a U.S. person. Support said I must complete W-9 first to activate the Paid Applications contract, and only then could I submit W-8. I did not submit W-9. I uploaded W-8 through the link they provided. No confirmation, no follow-up. I opened another case explaining this (W-9 is the wrong form; W-8 already submitted). No reply. IRS W-9 instructions are clear: if the owner of a disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner files the appropriate W-8, not W-9. If anyone on Apple’s tax/agreements team is reading this: please accept the W-8BEN already submitted and activate the contract without requiring a false U.S.-person certification on W-9. Happy to provide any documents needed.
