I am a citizen of a foreign country working in the USA. Do I have to pay US income taxes?

Tax Questions and Answers by NY CPA Tax Lawyer
Odds are pretty good there is a treaty provision that provides exemption (see #1 above). But before I can answer that question I need to know more about the nature of your work, what kind of visa you have, how long you've been here, and other information of that sort. However, if there is no treaty provision, Uncle Sam taxes foreign nationals living in the US the same as US citizens. If you are exempt from US taxes under a treaty provision you still may have to file form 8833.
