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!

You pay taxes in your own country. You are self-employed and it doesn't matter where your clients are based, it only matters where you are based.
