    These forms have slightly different purposes.

    According to the IRS, you file Form W-8BEN to notify the entity that pays your income of your foreign status to claim an exemption from, or a reduced rate of, withholding.

    You file Form 8833 to claim treaty benefits that might reduce your tax.  

    Please see the IRS' page at "Claiming Tax Treaty Benefits" for more information.
