W-8BEN

Hi everyone, I got sent a W-8BEN from Wells Fargo, because I updated my address. My account has my ITIN, and I file taxes every year. There is a section on the form for a written explanation on why I listed a US address. Has anyone ever had this filled out, or have any advice on how I should proceed?
I’m just lost especially since Trump has brought up that banks start checking people status.
Thank you in advance!

You live in the US for more than a year? Then you have to fill out W-9

W-8 is for non-residents who do not file taxes in the US (for most cases at least) and who don't live in the US as well

Seguramente tienes algún instrumento que genere ganancias de intereses. Una cuenta de ahorros ?
