Am i an individual? – Well, my response is, an individual what? The word ‘individual’ is an adjective.
“For U.S. tax purposes…” – I live in the U.S.A. not the U.S.
“Are you…” – I am never a ‘you’ since ‘you’ is always plural.
“Are you a U.S. person?” I am not a person / persona / company. I am a living being.
