Beginner here. I got dividends from an American company in USD

Depends on whether you have a separate dollar account and on whatever your agreement with your bank is. There is no principled truth here. How about you ask your bank? How are we supposed to guess information and settle an individual dispute like that?

Just wait until you figure out that the IRS by default witholds 30% of your dividends as tax regardless of the capital gains tax in your home country.

How you grow an economy as robust and thriving as ours, so that the entire world wants to invest in your markets and use your currency as the world standard, and then you won't have these terrible problems.

Fucking ingrate.

What do shitty one-sided tax laws have to do with growing a thriving economy? It's not like the US isn't suffering from tax evasion by their own major companies and killed its domestic tax by allowing the shit Dellaware pulls off to the detriment of every single other state. Tax laws are always against the small suckers who have no chance of evading them. The big fish don't care. That's really nothing to be proud of...

Cry me a river. No one's making you invest here. You know the tax laws and yet you choose to play because we offer better growth, returns, and income than anything your shitbox country could hope to muster.

I have no tolerance for people like you.

No, I don't. OP is. I've pulled my money out of the US because I'm sick of their bullshit.

You're pathetically looking for an excuse to pick a fight. You won't get one.

So, how do I fill out the W-8BEN form? Is there any useful instruction?
