In this episode, I've demistified the FATCA W-9 Form that U.S taxpayers who own assets outside the U.S are required to complete when opening a diaspora bank account.

I've mentioned the tax filing requirements as per the IRS website. I've also shared the benefits of opening a diaspora account properly as opposed to bypassing the requirement & opening a local account. We'll post the IRS reference material on IG, YouTube & TikTok @kenyan_diaspora_returnee and on Twitter @KE_Diaspora.
