Hi folks. Noob here. I am a U.S citizen living in japan and I am trying register for a interactive brokers japan account.
I live, work and receive all my income from japanese sources, and 0 from the US. When I fill in the personal information on the Interactive brokers japan website to open an account, I get to the last page and under the area where you confirm you agree with the information provided, it says that
'' I confirm that I am a non-U.S person"
I know there can be differences between citizen, resident etc. but to my knowledge I am a U.S person.
anyone of you fine folks understand what is happening?

anyone of you fine folks understand what is happening?
- is my understanding of what a U.S person is incorrect?
- is interactive brokers japan not for us citizens living and working in Japan?
- Any suggested course of actions I should take??
