I am a UK citizen, moving with my husband to the USA in October.
He will be on H1B and working full time. I will be on H4 and not permitted to work.
He has just opened a bank account in the US in preparation for our move. Now we have asked them to add me to the account so I can do admin and have my own debit card.
They have sent me W-8BEN. Should I be filling this in?
Key point is that we are currently in the UK and then will be resident in the USA in October. We will be filing jointly on our tax return.
Please advise anyone?
