Non-Resident Alien Interest Bearing Account

Answered by: 

Question: 
We have a customer from Argentina who visits his daughter here two or three times a year. He stays for about a month when he comes. He wants to open an interest-bearing checking account. What type of tax ID do we need?
Answer: 

If he does not have a US TIN, then you would have him complete a W-8BEN. He doesn't need a TIN.
