Course description

If you are asking your customer “Are you a US citizen?” at account opening, you might be asking the wrong question.  A better question is “Are you a US Person?”  These and many other errors set up NRA accounts incorrectly so that you report the interest incorrectly to the IRS.  It begins with the W-8BEN and ends with the 1042 S interest reporting.  If you miss this program you may continue to make common errors that cause you liability and lack of compliance.
