    Does IRS routinely monitor and audit non-resident aliens’ financial accounts?

    When foreign customer fills out an application, they are required to fill out a W8BEN. https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-8-ben. I expect this is submitted to the IRS as the customer is subject to NRA withholding of Dividend payments.

    Fix Broken Trades With the Repair Strategy

    Most of my responses come from the experience I have from being in the business from 1981. I’ve done sales, trading, market making and floor executions as a broker. I also have some knowledge, but not great, of USA tax laws. You have not said where you reside, and I have no idea what the result...

    Fix Broken Trades With the Repair Strategy

    Buying 1:selling 2 is generally a debit but can be a credit. If a debit, you increase your risk and investment and limit upside. If a credit, you limit upside even more with little protection on the downside. This type of strategy teaches bad habits that do not build wealth.

    I probably owe IRS tens of thousands of dollars in taxes without stepping on the US soil

    Everyday we open foreign accounts for those that are citizens of many counties. Instead of a W9, they fill out a W8BEN. The only withholding is what the IRS calls NRA-on Dividend Income only and varies based on treaties with the USA. The base rate is 30%. The customer is responsible for...

    IMO, this is a terrible idea. We all need to learn to take losses and move on. The only way to minimize these losses to by tax harvesting. Pair off a gain with a loss.

    I probably owe IRS tens of thousands of dollars in taxes without stepping on the US soil

    Can you cite any of these? I have not been able to find any tax or withholding on a CASH transfer at a US Bank or US Broker from a parent to a child for a foreign person.

    I'm not following all your short cuts for describing what option you bought. There are no Jan 17 calls in 2024 and the lowest strike is $0.50.

    Why do ETFs like BIL that only contain T-Bills require you to pay state taxes on ETF distributions?

    I expect it is the same for a Money Market Fund that only invests in government debit. We offer customers access to the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund VUSXX. I found this when I did a Generative AI search. "Interest from Treasury bills (T-bills) is exempt from state and local taxes, but...

    C'mon now....you did not provide a symbol before. :D Yes, This is wide below. Most markets three months out these days have less volume, less in the way of limit orders and no incentive for them to make better markets. the Jan 22 are better. You have to power to better their markets.

    That is hard to answer without a symbol. If there is low volume and they are new and the shares are not very active, why narrow quotes?

    Margin on options arb/conversion

    First a note. Your profile says "Canada" and your regulators do not allow Canadian brokers to offer PM. And, we are not a Canadian broker. Now, the answer is no. It is a daily shock to protect the OCC guarantee to member firms as the OCC is the counter party to options. This TIMS calculation is...
