Depends what you call a ridiculous amount of money - less than $10K isn't really worth it after paying bank charges

Currently 30% max withholding, apparently at the end of the year you can file a 1040NR form to get half of that 30% back.

May I ask did you ever successfully get your withholding tax back? It's not by filling w-8ben form? Tq

I filed W8BEN form, but withholding on dividends is still 30% (I believe as Malaysia doesn't have DTA with USA)

From what others are saying you need to file 1040NR form - I only started with US ETF this year so won't need to do this until 2015, will update then.

Tq for the reply, same as you I did fill the W8BEN too but the withholding is still 30%. So wonder what need t be done actually.
