Can Section 1 be completed with the assistance of a preparer or translator?
Yes, if the employee is unable to complete Section 1 on his/her own, it may be completed with the assistance of a preparer or translator. The person must sign and date the form and give his or her name and address. The preparer must swear, under penalty of perjury, that ?to the best of my knowledge the information [in Section 1] is true and correct.?
