VENDOR DATA RECORD
(204 Form)
Required in lieu of IRS W-9 when doing business with
the State of California
Are you a California resident or nonresident?
Each corporation, individual/sole proprietor, partnership, estate,
or trust doing business with the State of California must indicate
residency status along with their taxpayer identification number.
A corporation is defined as a “resident” if it has a permanent
place of business in California or is qualified through the
Secretary of State to do business in California.
For individuals and sole proprietors, the term “resident”
includes every individual who is in California for other than a
temporary or transitory purpose and any individual domiciled in
California who is absent for a temporary or transitory purpose.
Generally, an individual who comes to California for a purpose,
which will extend over a long or indefinite period, will be
considered a resident. However, an individual who comes to
perform a particular contract of short duration will be considered
a nonresident.
A partnership is considered a resident partnership if it has a
permanent place of business in California. An estate is a resident
if the decedent was a California resident at time of death. A trust
is a resident if at least one trustee is a California resident.
For information on residency status, contact the Franchise Tax
Board at the numbers listed below:
From within the United States, call 1-800-852-5711
From outside the United States, call 1-916-845-6500

Website – www.ftb.ca.gov
Are you subject to California nonresident withholding?
Payments made to California nonresident vendors, including
corporations, individuals, partnerships, estates and trusts, are
subject to California income tax withholding. California
nonresident vendors performing services in California or receiving
rent, lease or royalty payments from property (real or personal)
located in California will have 7% of their total payments withheld
for state income taxes. However, no withholding is required if
total payments to the payee are $1,500 or less for the calendar
year.
A California nonresident vendor may request that income tax
withholding be waived by sending a completed form FTB 588 to
the address below. A waiver will generally be granted when a
payee has a history of filing California returns and making timely
estimated payments. If the vendor activity is carried on outside of
California or partially outside of California, a waiver may be
granted.
A California nonresident vendor may request a reduction in the
standard 7% income tax withholding amount by sending a
completed form FTB 589 to the address below, or by completing
the form online at www.ftb.ca.gov. If a reduced rate of
withholding or waiver has been authorized by the Franchise Tax
Board, attach a copy to this form.

Foreign Individuals and Foreign Businesses
Federal tax withholding regulations differ significantly from California’s tax withholding requirements. A tax analysis is required and
all foreign individuals must complete the “Foreign National Data Collection Form” to determine U.S. residency status. Failure to
complete the form may require up to 30% federal tax withholdings from payment. For more information, refer to the IRS website for
nonresident withholding at http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/International-Taxpayers/NRA-Withholding.
