Non-U.S. investors complete a W-8 form, which is required for investing in a U.S. partnership.
This form:
- confirms your non-U.S. tax status
- provides information the fund must keep on file
- ensures the fund can prepare accurate K-1s and comply with IRS reporting rules
This is a standard requirement for all non-U.S. LPs in U.S. funds and does not automatically mean you will owe U.S. taxes.
