U.S. tax info for nonresident freelancers

Hacker News

OK. This was inspired by email correspondence with an HN reader. I'm embarrassed about it so it must be the right time to throw it out there. :-) This is all about brains across borders: someone sitting in one country does work for someone who is in another country. What are the tax problems? I'm an international tax lawyer. It's hard (and expensive) to get information about U.S. tax law in international transactions. I wrote a quick ebook aimed at a specific type of person, with the idea of answering the U.S. tax questions he/she might have. The target reader I had in my head: a web developer sitting at a computer in Nicaragua (hi M. D.!) building websites for U.S. customers. All of the work is done outside the United States. Please look and tell me questions I missed. Or tell me questions you have, even without reading the book! I will try to answer as best I can. This will also help me with improving the book. Oh. I'm trying to decide which domain name to use. What do you like: - freelancetax.com - brainsacrossborders.com Thanks, Phil.
