현재 제가 학생F1이고 AOS신청중이구요. 친구로부터 수수료없이 온라인으로 주식투자할수 있다는 웹사이트를 소개받았습니다 (https://www.robinhood.com/signup/print/)
그런데 가입할때는 특별히 영주권자나 시민권자임을 묻는 질문이 없었는데 여기 웹사이트에 원서(APPLICATION)을 제출 다 하고 보니, W-9 CERTIFICATE라고 적혀있고 시민권자나 영주권자를 지칭하는 것 같습니다 단순히 SSN이나 집주소, 은행계좌 모두 입력만 요구했구요.
정확하게는 이런 약관이 원서를 제출하고 보니 있었습니다.
===================================================================== W-9 CERTIFICATE Under penalties of perjury, I certify that: (1) the number shown on this form is My correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to Me), and (2) I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified Me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding, and (3) I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (defined below).
If I have been notified by the IRS that I am currently subject to backup withholding because I have failed to report all interest and dividends on My tax return, I will send an email to support@robinhood.com with “Backup Withholding” in the title.
Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax return purposes, I am considered a U.S. person if I am: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien, a partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States, an estate (other than a foreign estate), or a domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).
The Internal Revenue Service does not require My consent to any provisions of this document other than the certifications required to avoid backup withholding.
