Do I need an ITIN to complete the W8 form if I live in Canada?

Hey guys,

Does anyone know if I need an ITIN to complete the W8 form if I am a Canadian? I filled out the form initially with my SIN as a foreign tax ID number, but I just read elsewhere that you need to apply for an ITIN with the IRS in order to not have withholding taxes on US sales.

This is freaking me out as the deadline to complete this form is in 6 days and it will take waaayyy longer than that to obtain an ITIN from the IRS.

Is there anyone who has an answer for me? I would greatly appreciate any input. Thanks!

i am not sure that it could help u but i have sent a message to u :wink:
