Hello, I am a TN Visa holder, I am about to start working for a company in the US in June 2021, I will be there for two months to do administrative stuff and the company onboarding, I am supposed to move to California, but since they allow work from home I was thinking to come back to Mexico to work from there until the office opens again.
Is that possible? or I will have problems related to taxes/medical care.
I have read things about that I should stay in the US for at least 32 days in the first year and 183 days in total for a period of 3 years, is that true?
Its about whether you can file as a US resident or nonresident for your taxes. If 2021 is the first year when you are present in the US, and if you only stay for about two months, you will be filing as a nonresident on your 2021 tax return next year. As a nonresident, you would need to file a US return only if you have any US source income and meet the filing requirements. For details, click here: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-1040-nr
However, if you meet Substantial Presence Test SPT, you will be considered as a US resident for tax purposes. (Your last question) You can use TurboTax to file a Form 1040 and must report worldwide income including US and Mexico earnings.
