Check here for the FAQ on the tax forms: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/Contributor-tax-FAQ.html and this: https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/withholding-rates-country.html?cq_ck=1503513388328

For Israel, you have a 10% (not 17%) withholding rate:

You can find all the relevant data for your country right here.

(Please note: if you have additional questions, you will need to consult a tax counsellor, we can't and will not provide tax counsel, especially, that you are in a different country than I am and most of the other contributors).

I understood what needs to be put in the items based on the table, but I can't figure out what needs to be filled in this line?

Check the heading on the table. I would enter that:

Royalties for

Motion Picture /TV	Images (and whatever else you contribute)

What special rates are you claiming? I don't think there is a 'Double Tax Agreement' between the USA and Israel. So, you must reference that agreement in the space if there are special rates and conditions. Otherwise, write N/A ( Not applicable.)

However, perhaps you should ask a tax adviser who will know the specific conditions regarding your tax residence.
