If you are an employee of a foreign
government (including foreign municipalities) your wages are exempt from U.S.
income tax by a provision in a tax treaty or consular convention between the
United States and their country, or meeting the requirements of U.S. tax law
Often the exemption is limited to the income of persons who
also are nationals of the foreign country involved.
If you are a green card holder employed by a foreign
government or international organization, you are not subject to
self-employment taxes and may not voluntarily participate in the U.S. social
security system.
