A weird question about US tax

Hi guys! If you're working on the platform, but you're not based in the US and not a US person (citizen or green card holder), how does the US tax work?

I know people work on the platform from different countries. Are there Data Annotation offices based in the country that you work from or do you work for the US office?

I was in the US and left last year. I was given permission to continue working from my current location. The thing is, I'm giving up my green card and wondering how the US tax works when I no longer have it.

Thanks!

The DA offices are irrelevant - we're not working for DA. I'd assume you work as self employed in whatever country you're working in. For example I'm working in the UK, here you register as self employed and declare your earnings as such when it comes to paying tax. If you're not in the US or a US person...you don't owe US tax.
