Question:
At the beginning of 2007, I opened an account for trading in stocks listed on US stock exchanges. Do I need to file for a tax return in the USA, and if so, which forms or where could I get some help. Thanks!
Answer:
Assuming that you are a non-resident alien, your income and gains will be taxed at the source if you have properly registered with the brokerage as a non-resident alien. This also assumes that you are dealing with a US brokerage house in the US. If you are dealing with a foreign brokerage including the foreign office of a US firm, there will be no direct US tax consequences for your trades.
