Tax Treaty: Nigeria + United States
Nigeria does not have a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States. Nigerian residents are subject to the standard 30% IRS withholding on US-sourced income. An ITIN allows you to file Form 1040-NR and potentially claim deductions that reduce your effective US tax rate.
An ITIN enables you to submit Form W-8BEN with your treaty claim to US payers (Amazon, Google, Upwork, brokerage firms) and file Form 1040-NR with the IRS.
