可以, 但很複雜. 個人覺得除非你是大戶有很多股息收入, 不然應該影響不大吧!Scottrade 有回覆如下, 建議找會計師處理:
We are required to withhold tax on foreign dividends for all account types, including IRAs and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) in certain situations.
Foreign tax is withheld by the country in question at a rate determined by the tax treaty (if applicable) between the United States and the paying company’s country of incorporation. We do not control the amount of foreign tax withheld. When foreign stocks pay dividends, we receive the net amount from our depository. We will post the gross dividend to client accounts and then debit each of those accounts for the full amount of the foreign tax.
Some full-service brokerage firms may withhold foreign tax amounts at a lesser or more favorable rate and subsequently file for tax reclaim with the foreign country. By doing this, a small percentage of foreign tax can be reclaimed on behalf of the client. The reclaim process is time-consuming, costly and requires submitting paperwork and proof of residency for each entitled client. Additionally, each country typically requires submission of their unique, individual paperwork and forms.
We do not currently offer reclaim services to our clients. The possibility does exist; however, for a client to take a foreign tax credit on his or her taxes. Please consult with a licensed tax advisor for additional information regarding this process.
