U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)
The U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) became law in March 2010 and is effective as of July 1, 2014. The law is enforced by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Under the provisions of FATCA, insurers may need to obtain withholding certificates (IRS Forms W-8 or W-9) from their business partners. Typically, a W-8 is provided by non-U.S. entities and a W-9 is provided by U.S. entities. Business partners conducting business with The Hartford may request copies of these completed forms from
taxcompliance2@thehartford.com.
Additionally, copies of blank IRS forms (W-8 and W-9) and further information can be found on the
IRS website.
