Hi everyone,
I'm on a student visa and I haven't been in the US for 5 calendar years. So, I'm still a non-resident alien. Since I stay in the US for more than 183 days, I believe that I'm required to pay a flat 30% tax (I'm from India) on all my realized gains from the sale of stocks/ securities. Sometime during last year, Robinhood asked me to provide my tax status and since I provided information that I'm a non-resident alien for tax purposes, they sent me a 1042-S for 2021 (They used to send 1099-B for 2019 and 2020). The 1042-S contained only the dividends that I received. None of my realized gains/losses were there in the form.
When I contacted Robinhood regarding the same, the following was their reply
"Depending on your tax certification type, and your activity, certain criteria need to be met to receive certain documents. In your situation, with your tax certification type, you received the 1042-S document. This is all of the information we are able to provide. We encourage you to speak to your tax professional if you have any further questions about completing your taxes."
Please advise me on what I can do in this situation since I'm not sure how I can file my realized gains of 2021 in my tax return without a 1099 document showing the details of that.
