I’m in the US on F1 STEM OPT and the Robinhood app is asking me to confirm my tax status. My home country is Malaysia and I’m not aware of any international tax ID under my name. Do I just fill in a w8ben form in this case? Would appreciate any feedback, thank you in advance! Blind tax: TC: 80k YOE: 2 #irs #robinhood
I may be wrong, but my understanding is that you need to pay US for your gain if you are a resident here. So w8ben is not applicable.
I’m a nonresident alien and I did pay 30% capital gain tax last year. Now the IRS is asking us to provide further proof that we’re non resident aliens
