Document Upload Tool for Central Withholding Agreement information requests

 

The Document Upload Tool (DUT) is a fast and safe way to send us information about nonresident alien artist or athlete withholding agreements. You can use it to submit documents related to a Central Withholding Agreement (CWA) application. Don’t use this tool to file a tax return.

With the DUT, you can:

  • Send documents quickly and securely through your web browser
  • Correspond with us when it is convenient for you
  • Reduce the need to use fax or mail delivery

Who can use it

Taxpayers, authorized representatives, and withholding agents can use the DUT for CWA application purposes.
