Hi,
I’m currently working in Europe, and transferring to Texas in January 2020.
I was given lump sum amount bonus, and was told by my employer that third party will deposit this money deducting tax. Would it be better to receive the deposit before or after January 1, 2020 for any Tax filing concerns? In general, I rather not file taxes for 2019 - just trying to avoid the paperwork on my first few months in the US.
I’m assuming I need to file Tax for this income money, but not even sure when and why, as I don’t even have SSN and will have SSN only after I get the deposit.
Thanks
