28% tax withholding is pre-deducted from my income.

but, my room listing is not in US, I am not American residence, I am not living in US.

1. after I fill in the Taxpayer Information, the 28% tax withholding can stop?

2. for the the 28% tax withholding which have been deducted, how can I get back?

Your profile says US - maybe that is the reason ?

[Liyan0]

[Marit-Anne0]

Now it says JP, but when I looked earlier it said US.
