I'm not U.S. resident. I'm Italian and I live in Spain.
In 2009 I opened a bank account in Chicago when I was on vacation. No maintenance charges me, nor accrue interest. It is a Non-Resident account.
The bank asked me for two address. One permanent (Spain) and a mailing address. My brother lived in there, then I reported his address.
January 2012, I transfer from spain to usa, 5000 euros. In May, 30,000 euros. In June, my mother transfer from another country to my account, 25,000 euros. And finally my brother who lives in the U.S. transfer me $ 45,000, which were previously sent by my mother to my brother's account. No problem.
In April 2012, the bank sent to the house of my brother a substitute Form W-8BEN, to complete some information that were not clear to certify my foreign status. I have to send that information by December 31.
1 Provide Reason for U.S. of mailing address
2 Review beneficial owner.
3 Provide non permanent U.S. address.
ETC
I called the bank (call center) and discuss the issue and they sent me a blank Form W-8BEN to Spain, to fill out and send.
I've completed and applied my permanent address in Spain, without mailling address in USA, and the reference number of my account.
Should I worry about anything?
I have 100k in non-interest account. May I subject to U.S. withholding tax?
The documentation I have submitted is correct?
Please, I appreciate your response and help.
Thank you.
