IF EVERYONE LISTED IN ITEM 3 IS A U.S. CITIZEN, SKIP ITEMS 10 THROUGH 14 AND GO TO ITEM 15. The U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to withhold a 25.5 percent Federal income tax from the monthly benefits paid to beneficiaries who are neither citizens nor residents of the U.S. The tax is withheld from the benefits of all nonresident aliens except those who reside in countries that have tax treaties with the U.S. that do not permit the taxing of U.S. Social Security benefits or that provide for a lower tax rate. For Federal income tax purposes, a person can be considered a U.S. resident, even if that person lives outside the U.S., if he or she: · Has been lawfully admitted to the U.S. for permanent residence and that residence has not been revoked or administratively or
judicially determined to have been abandoned; or
· Meets a substantial presence test. To meet this test in a given year, the person must be present in the U.S. on at least 31 days in that year, and the total number of days he or she was in the U.S. during that year and the previous two years must be at least 183 days as determined by the provisions of the IRC. The Internal Revenue Service taxes the world-wide income of a U.S. resident who is living outside the U.S. in the same way that it taxes the income of a person living in the U.S. A person cannot be considered a U.S. resident in any year for which he or she has claimed a tax treaty benefit as a resident of a country other than the U.S. COMPLETE ITEMS 10 THROUGH 14 ABOUT ALL PERSONS LISTED IN ITEM 3 WHO ARE NOT U.S. CITIZENS AND WHO WANT TO BE CONSIDERED U.S. RESIDENTS FOR TAX PURPOSES. 10.

The Social Security Administration is authorized to collect information to establish your entitlement to Social Security benefits under section 202 of the Social Security Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 402 and 405). This information will also be used to verify your U.S. income tax status under sections 871 and 1441 of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 871 and 1441). While completing this form is voluntary, failure to provide all or part of this information is cause for suspension of benefit payments. The information on this form may be disclosed by the Social Security Administration to another person or agency for the following purposes: (1) to assist the Social Security Administration in establishing a person's right to Social Security benefits, (2) to help with statistical research and audits necessary to assure the integrity and improvement of the Social Security programs, and (3) to comply with laws requiring or allowing the exchange of information between the Social Security Administration and another agency. We may also use the information you give us when we match records by computer. Matching programs compare our records with those of other Federal, State, or local government agencies. Many agencies may use matching programs to find or prove that a person qualifies for benefits paid by the Federal government. The law allows us to do this even if you do not agree to it. Explanations about these and other reasons why information you give us may be used or given out are available in Social Security offices. If you want to learn more about this, contact any Social Security office.
