According to [IRS](https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/substantial-presence-test), I was never a US **tax** resident.


But there is a US bank that thinks I'm a resident in the US. I didn't update my info after leaving. I did fill out W8. I also filled out after leaving, not sure if they received my fax.


Can being categorized as a `US resident` by the bank make me a tax resident in CA or US? Directly or indirectly.


I don't want to face any surprises in the future
