Hello I am a Canadian new to receiving oil royalties I inherited from my mother. I was given an IRS Form W8BEN from the owner relations unit which supposedly will allow me to avoid being double taxed by US and Canada (and possibly excludes some US taxes?) but I can’t figure out how to correctly fill it out and the relations unit will not offer advice. Any Canadians (or other countries with tax treaty with the US) out there with a similar experience that can shed some light on how to fill out the form would be greatly appreciated.
