US Federal income tax withheld (IRS)

Hello. I am a resident of Ireland. I recently sold shares I had since I worked with a US company (I've never lived in the US). My 2016 Consolidated Form 1099 shows that there was Federal income tax withheld. Now having contacted UBS I was informed that this tax was withheld because I did not have a valid tax form on file…

Hello. I am a resident of Ireland. I recently sold shares I had since I worked with a US company (I've never lived in the US). My 2016 Consolidated Form 1099 shows that there was Federal income tax withheld. Now having contacted UBS I was informed that this tax was withheld because I did not have a valid tax form on file at the time of the merger (the company I had shares with, EMC, merged with DELL) and I need to contact the IRS. .

I tried several times to ring the IRS asking for advice and each time I have been put on hold while the person I spoke with looked for the appropriate form or tried to link me through to another department (taking a LONG time) and each time my queries went unanswered and the line went dead.

I would appreciate any advice/assistance as how to retrieve the withheld tax. And the applicable charge?

Regards,
Barry
