Form
13930 (Rev. 6-2018)
Additional Information For the NRA:
NRA’s without an SSN who are in the US on work visas
should plan to apply for an SSN while in the U.S. See www.
ssa.gov for information. An NRA who has worked in the US
in a prior tax year will not be granted a CWA unless they are
in paying and filing compliance. Each NRA must have filed
and paid or arranged to pay past US tax returns as
appropriate. The NRA agrees to file Form 1040NR or Form
1040NR (EZ) for the tax year where the NRA has entered
into a CWA
For the Withholding Agent:
Each CWA requires a designated withholding agent enter
into the CWA as a party to the agreement between the IRS
and the NRA Athlete or Entertainer. The designated
withholding agent must be an independent third party
unrelated to the NRA, or entities owned by the NRA.
A CWA is effective only for the tour or events covered and
payments stipulated in the CWA. It is effective only when
signed by all parties to the CWA (i.e. the NRA, the
designated withholding agent and IRS). The designated
withholding agent is required to withhold and pay
withholding tax according to the terms of the CWA. The
designated withholding agent is required to provide a final
accounting of the income and expenses that were projected
in the CWA and deposit any additional withholding tax
required as a result of the final accounting. The CWA
program requires withholding agents to have a US bank
account and be enrolled in Electronic Federal Tax Payment
System (EFTPS). It also requires deposits to be made
through EFTPS. For enrollment procedures and
requirements, see www.eftps.gov.
What happens after IRS receives my Application?
You will be contacted within 3 business days of assignment
to a Tax Specialist regarding the status of your application
and any additional information that may be required. If your
request for a CWA is granted, the specialist will notify you in
writing and provide the agreement for signature. A CWA is
not in effect until all parties to the agreement have signed
the CWA. The withholding agent will withhold any required
income tax and pay over the withheld tax via EFTPS on the
dates and in the amounts specified in the CWA. The IRS
will apply the payments of withheld tax to the 1042 account
designated by the withholding agent. Each withholding
agent must file Form 1042 and Form1042-S for each tax
year in which income is paid with respect to the period and
events covered by the CWA.
