Transferwise account for non-us resident.
Hi, I'm a foreign citizen that will work in US as a freelancer with a non-immigrant visa, that means that is effectively connected income.
My country of citizenship has tax treaties with US.
Originally I was going to receive an international transfer and make all the proper tax filling in my country of citizenship, but the company wants to pay me in a US base bank account so I open a Wise account.
According to another question answer by an expert here in turbo tax :
"Your Transferwise account is a borderless account which is regulated by the Financila Coduct Authority in the UK, and as such is considered as a foreign account for US residents and citizens."
So my question here is, receiving payments in that account implies tax obligation within US?
If so, how can I submit the proper documentation to avoid doble taxation?
