Which form is an annual withholding tax return for U.S. source income of foreign persons?

  1. Form SS-8

  2. Form 1042-S

  3. Form 1042

  4. Form SS-5

The correct answer is: Form 1042

Form 1042 is the correct answer because it is specifically designed as an annual withholding tax return for U.S. source income of foreign persons. Form 1042-S is used to report income paid to foreign persons, but it is not the annual withholding tax return itself. Form SS-8 is used to request the status of an individual as an employee or independent contractor, while Form SS-5 is used to apply for a Social Security card.
