How do I complete and submit a W-8 BEN?

You've decided to open a tastytrade account! Great! When you apply for a tastytrade account, we (tastytrade) will submit a W-8 BEN on your behalf based on the information provided to us during the application process. That said, if you have any special rates or conditions for tax withholding, then you may send a W-8 BEN to our accounts team (accounts@tastytrade.com), and they will process it on your behalf.
