I'm a non-US resident alien, considering to invest in either commission-free ETFs and Mutual Funds offered by TD Ameritrade.

According to The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, certain type of dividends from dividends are exempted from the 30% tax withholding. Does this apply to ETFs as well?

    Non resident as in "I don't have a green card, but I'm on H1/L1 status" or "non resident for tax purposes because I'm a tourist/student/not in the US"?

Does my prior answer here to a slightly different question help at all?

Are there capital gains taxes or dividend taxes if I invest in the U.S. stock market from outside of the country?
