₪₪₪ Tax responsibilities of a non-resident foreign consultant with no presence in the US?
Hello,
1. I provide consulting services to a US-based company.
2. I am neither a US citizen, nor am I substantially present in the US. I do all the work from abroad.
3. My US client pays me for the services – in one cumulative installment, annually.
Questions:
What forms do I need to file with the IRS to tell it of my status.
What forms does my US-based client need to file with the IRS to clarify our business relationship?
The problem is that the IRS is trying to collect taxes from me on assumption that I am present in the states and work as an independent contractor. This maybe due to the fact that my US client issued Form 1099 in my name – erroneously. I was notified of a pending levy sent to my bank account.
How do I and my US client remedy this situation? Thank you.
