December 2025)  \n(Use with the September 2018 revision of Form 8233.)  \nExemption From Withholding on Compensation for Independent (and Certain  \nDependent) Personal Services of a Nonresident Alien Individual   \nSection references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.  \nFuture Developments  \nFor the latest information about developments related to Form 8233 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, [go to](go to IRS.gov/)[ ](go to IRS.gov/)[IRS.gov/](go to IRS.gov/)[ ](go to IRS.gov/)[Form8233](Form8233.)[.](Form8233.)  \nCaution: You must know the terms of the tax treaty between the United States and the treaty country to properly complete Form 8233.  \nGeneral Instructions Purpose of Form  \nIn general, section 1441 requires 30% income tax withholding on compensation for independent personal services, defined later. Sections 1441, 3401, and 3402 require withholding, sometimes at 30% and sometimes at graduated rates, on compensation for dependent personal services, defined later. However, some payments may be exempt from withholding because of a tax treaty.  \nComplete and give Form 8233 to your withholding agent if some or all of your compensation is exempt from withholding.  \nYou can use Form 8233 to claim a tax treaty withholding exemption for noncompensatory scholarship or fellowship income only if you are also claiming a tax treaty withholding exemption for compensation for personal services (including compensatory scholarship or fellowship income) received from the same withholding agent.  \nCaution: If you have income from independent personal services, you generally cannot claim a treaty exemption if you have an office or fixed base in the United States available to you, including if you are a partner in a partnership that has an office or fixed base. A few treaties include limited exceptions to this general rule.  \nAdditional information. General information about tax treaties is available at [IRS.gov/Individuals/International](IRS.gov/Individuals/International)Taxpayers/Tax-Treaties. Also, see Pub. 901 , U.S. Tax Treaties, for a quick reference guide to the provisions of U.S. tax treaties.  \nThe complete text of most U.S. tax treaties can be downloaded at [IRS.gov/Businesses/International](IRS.gov/Businesses/International)Businesses/United-States-Income-Tax-Treaties-A-to-Z.

A nonresident alien is primarily present in the United States as a professor but is also occasionally invited to lecture at other educational institutions. These lectures are not connected with his teaching obligations but are in the nature of self-employment. For each tax year, the professor must complete and give a separate Form 8233 to the withholding agent at each institution in order to claim tax treaty benefits on the separate items of income, if the treaty so permits.  \nGive the completed form to the withholding agent.
