I’m a fully remote worker working for a (California) company and living/paying taxes in another state.
I am contemplating taking a second, international remote job, where I would be spending time in both countries and working both remote jobs. Broadly speaking, what are the tax implications of doing this?
As a U.S. citizen, you are obligated to pay U.S. federal income tax on your worldwide income. You may qualify for a foreign tax credit if your income is also subject to the income tax of a foreign country.

If you are a sole proprietor filing a Sch C and working from home in the US then nothing will change.
I am not self-employed, I am on a W2. So in this case I would have the same US job, and I would have a second job in a second country. I would reside in both countries at different times of the year (more time abroad if that matters), but retaining my state residency. No matter what country I am in, I would be working both jobs.
Understandably I’m not expecting advice on tax laws of a foreign country, I am more interested in what this would mean as far as U.S. tax obligations.
