I am F-1 student from India. I have arrived in the United States in August of 2022. I have since been in the US and haven't left the country. I recently graduated and about to start working as a 1099 contractor.
My employer wasn't sure if I have to complete a W-9 or W-8ECI or W-8BEN.
Recently I visited fifth third Bank and they asked me to fill a w-9. I asked them if were supposed to be filling a different form. They asked me few questions and determined I should fill a W-9. Now, should I fill a W-9 for my employer or a different form.
