In the United States, residents are generally taxed on their worldwide compensation regardless of where or for whom the services are performed. Compensation includes cash remuneration and the fair market value of property or services received. Foreign earned income exclusions may apply to certain income earned by a resident for services performed in a country other than the United States.
Non-residents are subject to U.S. tax on income from U.S. sources. U.S. source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business (generally investment income) is taxed on a gross basis at a flat 30-percent rate (unless a lower treaty rate applies). A non-resident engaged in a trade or business within the United States during the taxable year is taxed on income effectively connected with the U.S. trade or business, less allowable deductions, at normal graduated rates. Generally, income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business includes compensation for personal services performed in the United States.
A foreign national who changes from U.S. resident status to non-resident status or from non-resident to U.S. resident during a year is subject to U.S. tax as if the year were divided into two separate periods, one of residence and one of non-residence. The dual status foreign national is generally subject to tax on worldwide income for the period of residence and generally only on U.S. source income for the period of non-residence.
The IRC is structured to obtain at least 90% of the final income tax through withholding and estimated tax payments. Individuals who earn income not subject to withholding must pay tax on that income in quarterly installments.
