Windows Phone Rock Star

Just finished my Windows Phone Rock Star session. Now I can put the guitar back on the wall. Thanks for being a great audience and staying to the end. Some great questions too.  You can find the sample code here.

There were some questions. If you are not based in the ‘states and are wondering how to get the tax side of things sorted you can find some interesting information here:

When I figure out how to do it myself I’ll put a post up explaining what I did.

You can find my Blue Book (and my Yellow Book) here:

Hi Rob,

I went through the forum post and I think this link takes you to a reply that details exactly what you need to do for the UK.

At least I hope so, as I'm going to be following those steps soon too!

If you are UK-based limited company, before you fill in W-8BEN form you need to apply for Employee Identification Number (EIN). 

Just complete the FSS4 form http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf and call +12679411099 where you can apply for EIN using the information you filled in.

It will take some time, and after you get you EIN, complete W-8BEN form and enter EIN in section 6. Post the form and you'll get a responce in approx 2-3 months time.

More info on EIN: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=97860,00.html

Hope this helps!
