Question about Visa and Account Opening? - 07/30/04 11:15 PM
Individual opened a checking account. She provided an unexpired Non-US Citizen Driver License and Visa (does not expire until 2013). She signed the w-9 on the signature card and the first two boxes are checked (taxpayer id number box and not subject to backup withholding box). On the TIN line on the w-9 an 8 digit number from the bottom of the Visa is recorded.
In trying to determine if handled properly:
1-Should the w-9 have been completed?
2-Should a W-8BEN have been completed instead of w-9?
3-Should the passport number have been recorded anywhere?
Thanks
