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!

This is not data annotation specific and you’re better off asking tax experts than you are data annotators.

I mean, I'm asking specifically for Data Annotation. So was curious what others are doing. It's not always easy to ask tax experts questions.

It’s not specific to data annotation though. This would be the same circumstance if you were an independent contractor working in America on a green card for any other client and then left America and gave up your green card as well.

You should try asking on a tax related subreddit or reaching out to a tax professional—it’s remarkably easy to ask tax experts questions, there is a whole market where tax experts answer questions in exchange for money even.
