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?
