Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United
States Tax Withholding and Reporting (Individuals)

 

Adobe is asking me to fill in this form, see pdf.

Is it important? What is it for? And how to fill it in?

@ramona kasius,

W-8 BEN is a Tax Withholding form for non-US citizens.  The tax form is required by IRS.  Adobe is not allowed to pay you until you complete it.  See below for more details.
