Document Updates: Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding (Cx7938)

The “Certificate of Foreign Status” (our Cx7938) is used for foreign persons that have amounts that are subject to US tax withholding. Part I of the form is for the identification of the Beneficial Owner of the amounts.  Number 2 of Part I is a box for the “Country of citizenship”. We are updating this box to utilize the “Borrower [x] Country of Citizenship” field series (e.g. FI 149478) on a generic basis. Clients may need to test to ensure that the field mappings are working as intended.

These changes are available for testing on Stage and Stage 2 servers and will take effect on January 31, 2024. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
