Foreign earned income

[Araba]

I am employed full-time (as a consultant) by a company based outside the US and I work remotely from the US. Am I considered self-employed for US tax purposes and am I subject to the self-employed quarterly filing requirement?

Hi, 

If you are an employee of the foreign company, you're not considered self-employed for US tax purposes. On the other and, if you are an independent contractor, you are considered self-employed for US tax purposes.

Self-employed people are generally required to make quarterly estimated tax payments to for self-employment tax, and income tax.
