In order to apply for a refund of the 30% withheld amount, you must file a 1040NR return, and attach to it 1042-S form(s) documenting the gross winnings and withheld amounts.  I don't think I would want to chance making that filing without my correct name on the 1042-S.  
     
    
   Incidentally, it is now more than seven and a half months since I filed to recoup 2014 withholdings!  Previously, this process took six to eight weeks.  My thoughts on this are unprintable.
