Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@XCross -- (1)  when you leave the USA, your work visa is terminated  and therefore you become a Non-Resident Alien thereafter. 

(2) so for the year 2020, you will be a Dual Status  taxpayer thus:

    (a) you file a form 1040  covering your world earnings for the period  Jan 1st through the day your visa is terminated / you leave the US soil

    (b) you also file a form 1040-NR for any US source income  for the rest of the year and in any subsequent years that you have income from the USA

(3)  NOTE -- when you work on foreign soil for an US entity  ( for example  your current US employer pays you as a contractor  but you perform the work in foreign country ) your income is sourced to the foreign country -- it is NOT US sourced income.  Therefore  USA cannot tax  this not can your employer issue a 1099 to you, even if you have a SSN.

 

If you need more help on this. please let me know
