I think you should be fine. The purpose of that form is requesting your tax ID number.
就是说sign 了邮寄回去也没有什么影响吧？ 谢谢， 还以为是BOA 在搞什么鬼呢。
you should be fine.
BOA will send you 1099-int form at the end of year, if you earn interest from your bank account. The purpose of W-9 is to get your Tax ID, so BOA can issue Form 1099-int to you later.
我只开了一个free checking， 没有开saving account， 不会得利息的，那BOA 也会发1099－int form 给我吗？刚才好像明白了，现在又糊涂了，1099－int form 又是干什么的呢？
是你银行利息所得的表，要报税。没有利息当然就不会有这个表了。还有，如果收到这个表，但是你在F期间，银行利息也是不用交税的。
恩，估计他们也不会给我寄这张表过来，因为我的帐户是checking 帐户，不可能得到利息的～ 万一他们寄来，也可以和他们argue 说自己是F1， 不用交税的吧～
I think you need to file form W-8BEN to inform your bank that you don't need to pay tax on your interest income. Otherwise, they will withhold 30% of your interest income if they know you are a foreign person.
Of course, if they don't know you are foreign, most likely they won't withhold anything, which then saves your trouble filing the form W-8BEN.
