Im opening an account on Robinbood, it's asking me if I am a US person(Form w9) or non US person (w8ben). As an F1 student who's been in the US for 2 years, am I considered a US person or Non US person for tax residency?

What's the procedure like for W8ben?

Probably not the best place to ask this question if you are looking for a quick (and free) answer. Check out r/tax on reddit and you will be more likely to find what you are looking for.

If you are looking for a more official answer ask your international students office, I’m sure they get this question all the time.

If you are looking for the most official of answers, go ask a trusted, licensed, CPA or Enrolled Agent.

I assume this is related to FinCen reporting. If you have lived in the U.S., you are a U.S. person for that purpose.

Really depends upon where you file your tax return.

If you file as a regular us resident the I would pick US person, if you file as a non resident then I would go non US person.

I would ask a CPA just to be sure.

Depends what type of Visa you are on. Generally you are a US person if you meet the substantial presence test of being physically present in the US for a certain number of days. However some Visas exclude those days from counting toward the substantial presence test allowing the foreign student to be viewed as a non-US person.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years.

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
