Hi, I'm in the UK and have a trading account with an online brokerage to trade in the US. I did a trade and the brokerage automatically deduced 30% of the value and passed it on to the IRS in the USA. I should'nt be taxed as I am not a US resident or citizen. I clarified this with the brokerage and passed on to them a W8 BEN form to register my status. They told me if I wanted to claim back the amount, they could'nt do it, and that I would have to claim it from the IRS instead. How do I claim from the IRS? Can someone tell me how to go about doing this? Any help will be deeply appreciated !!!
