We may be an ocean or border apart, but you’re never too far from taxes.
If your account received any income that was subject to tax withholding, then chances are you will receive a Form 1042-S. In a nutshell, the key concept to understand is the IRS’s definition of income. For most accounts, income usually arrives in the form of a dividend or interest payment.
*Please Note: The tax treaty your country has with the United States determines the withholding rate on your account. If you believe the withholding tax rate on your account is incorrect, then you will need to submit a new W8-BEN via-email to our accounts team at account@tastytrade.com.
