Thank you very much for your message!
I did a conference presentation in another country outside US and Japan, and got a monetary award for my presentation. The award awarded at the conference was sponsored by a publisher located in US.
For now, the US publisher is asking me to submit W-8BEN for me to receive the award payment. No other tax-related document they have asked me to fill out.
I checked with the US publisher, and it seems like they have a tax-related office, so maybe I should ask them about 1040-NR and Foreign Tax Credit. I do have any confidence in filling out these two forms on my own so...
Thank you again! Please let me know if there's anything else I should keep in mind in this matter.
