Customer Question

I had a lecture in Italy and was promised an honorarium to be wire send to my US bank account.

The Technical University of Milan claims that I need to provide a form/certificate from the IRS confirming that I will pay taxes in the USA on my honorarium. If I do not provide such a certificate, I will pay 30% Italian tax.

How to get such certificate?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

Welcome to Just Answers, I will do my best to Answer your Question.

I have to admit, that your question has me stumped but I believe that the 1042-S form can be used to file for the income so you would pay taxes here in the US instead of Milan.

I have never seen a "Certificate" that guarantees a Taxpayer in the US that he/she would pay future taxes.
