8802 Draft Application for United States Residency Applicatio

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or
publication, which the IRS is providing for your information as
a courtesy. Do not file draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft
instructions and publications for filing. We generally do not
release drafts of forms until we believe we have incorporated
all changes. However, in some cases unexpected issues arise,
or legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft form
we have posted on IRS.gov. Also, forms generally are subject
to OMB approval before they are officially released. Drafts of
instructions and publications are usually subject to at least
some changes before being officially released.
All early releases of draft forms, instructions, and publications
are available at www.IRS.gov/draftforms. All information
about forms, instructions, and publications is accessible from
www.IRS.gov/formspubs.
If you have any comments on this draft, you can submit them to
us on our IRS.gov page titled Comment on Forms and
Publications, where you may make comments anonymously if
you wish. You can also email us at taxforms@irs.gov. Please
include the form or publication number in the subject. We
cannot respond to all comments due to the high volume we
receive, but we will carefully consider each suggestion. Please
note that we may not be able to consider many suggestions
until the subsequent revision of the product.
