Tax Information
Under U.S. Tax laws, all non-U.S. citizens and non-permanent resident
aliens are considered to be either "resident aliens" or
"nonresident aliens." Residency status rules for tax purposes
are governed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Treasury
Department. Resident aliens are taxed on their worldwide income in the
same manner as U.S. citizens; nonresident aliens, however, are taxed only
on income from U.S. sources under special rules. The residency status
rules for tax purposes are related to, but are not the same as, the
residency status rules for immigration purposes, which are governed by the
INS. Therefore, individuals who are residents for tax purposes may in fact
be nonresident aliens for immigration purposes.
