"The Internal Revenue Service has kicked off a new program under which it shares large amounts of individuals’ financial-account information with certain foreign countries, the agency said Friday.
The IRS said it received digital information about U.S. taxpayers’ foreign accounts from governments and firms around the world, and it sent information on foreigners’ U.S. accounts to government authorities in as many as 34 countries. While governments have exchanged such information in the past, the sharing wasn’t automatic and the scope was often far narrower. The deadline for the exchange to begin was Sept. 30.
According to the IRS, it will only share information with foreign countries which meet its “stringent safeguard, privacy, and technical standards,” and it has the ability to halt transmissions if it believes the standards aren’t being met.
The IRS declined to say which countries received information from the U.S. This week, the agency added 16 new countries, including Brazil, South Africa and India, to the list of those already eligible to receive financial-account details.
The information exchanged typically includes the name, address, tax identification number, account number, account balance, and dividend and interest payments, among other things. This disclosure applies to accounts above a certain threshold."
Countries eligible to receive information from the IRS about their taxpayers’ U.S. accounts:

Death.If the account falls under FATCA it is shared with other countries and has been shared for years. FATCA is a bilateral sharing agreement and information flows both ways like CRS. See my links below for more information.

Not yet. The next step is a centralized database with unrestricted access by all taxing authorities. All current transactions should be looked at as if it was the case today.Death.

In fact of the matter. Therefore, how to open an account in the USA office? As far as I know, for Europe and ex-USSR countries, do they open accounts outside the US office (in Europe or Ireland)?According to Common Reporting Standard (CRS) | IB Knowledge Base, "For accounts held by Interactive Brokers LLC, there is no reporting since the United Sates has not signed the CRS."
If a non resident opens an IBKR account with IBKR US using a US LLC (DE, WY, NV), then surely the entity won't be liable for taxes (besides 30% withhoding tax on dividend income)? If the US LLC already have their EIN, then opening an US account shouldn't be an issue.
FATCA applies when reporting is needed for a US citizen or green card holder. In this case, the while the LLC is a US entity, the members of the LLC are not US residents.
Being resident in UAE should get you an account with IB LLC located in Pickwick plaza in Connecticut, USA.In fact of the matter. Therefore, how to open an account in the USA office?

If you are using a US LLC, then the account will be opened through IBKR US office. If you are a non US resident in that US LLC, then besides a 30% withholding tax (as declared on your W8-BEN) on dividends, all capital gains (short term and long term, as well as crypto) are not subject to tax (though form 5472 should be filed annually).In fact of the matter.

Why the hell do they want form 5472? It looks like a trap, to send (someday) information to your country of residence...If you are using a US LLC, then the account will be opened through IBKR US office.

To date, the US is non CRS compliant so the IRS does not share that information with your country of residence. For non US residents, the US is still cost effective, as the setup costs are far cheaper than many other alternatives.
What if you are an EU citizen and Mexican permanent resident?IB has EU entities where they channel EU clients. If you go to US entity as EU resident they will force you to open with an EU entity. Sadly its the way they have divided up their global business to comply with local regulations i.e EU regulation on offering of financial services etc. If your from countries outside EU i.e a country with no clout like Georgia then you could be sent to US entity and likewise if your from HK then you could be sent to the HK entity and so forth. If you just go to IB site they should redirect you do correct entity base on your residency.

Understood. So if for example I am Moldova resident, I can not open IB account exactly in US right? Personal account I meanIB has EU entities where they channel EU clients.

Doesn't seem likely you can open a IBKR personal account as a non-resident.Understood. So if for example I am Moldova resident, I can not open IB account exactly in US right? Personal account I mean
I know that Serbian residents can open directly with IBLLC-US, and also trade with US ETF's. Moldova should be the same, but you can always ask IBKR first before opening an account.Understood. So if for example I am Moldova resident, I can not open IB account exactly in US right? Personal account I mean
Georgia or Montenegro ?These don't exist anymore and if its too late, it won't change anything. And nobody wants to live in some crime ridden AFrican country.
Georgia will join CRS next year.Georgia or Montenegro ?
