@Leviuxe , Need more info:
1. which country are you from ( resident / citizen)
2. what visa are you entering US with and when -- exact date is helpful
3, which state are you going to stay in
4. do you other assets here ( house, bank accounts etc. etc. )
5. How long do you plan to stay ( this may be limited by the type visa anyways )
My answers will get more specific once you answer my questions:
Generally , you are no allowed to work without DHS authorization / work visa etc.. However, even with these permits and if you work "remotely", this may become US sourced income and be taxable by the USA. This applies till you pass the Substantial Presence Test--SPT ( 183 days of presence counting all days present during the current tax / Calendar year + 1/3rd of the days present during the previous year + 1/6th the days present in 2nd. prior year ). Once you pass the SPT though you are taxed on world income.
If the work is done in the USA, whether the income is paid in US$ or otherwise, it will still be counted as sourced in the USA.
Please answer my questions and I will circle back
