  If you are a U.S. citizen or resident, you will need to submit a W-9 form. This form is used to provide your taxpayer identification number (TIN) to the cryptocurrency exchange. If you are a non-U.S. citizen or resident, you will need to submit a W-8BEN form. This form is used to certify that you are a foreign individual or entity and to claim any applicable tax treaty benefits.

  Determining whether you need to submit a W-9 or W-8BEN form depends on your tax residency status. If you are unsure about your tax residency, you should consult with a tax professional or refer to the IRS guidelines. It's important to comply with the tax regulations to avoid any potential penalties or legal issues.
