Hey,<p>I'm a tax guy. I'm a CPA, an Enrolled Agent before the IRS and tax attorney. I've worked with the major accounting firms (PwC and KPMG) and I've saved companies like Pfizer and TIA-CREFF more than 30 million.<p>I know how hard it is to get things done on a tight (nonexistent) budget. So, I wanted to keep my promise to the Hacker News community from a while back and offer my advice to anyone that might need it on anything tax or business related.<p>Original Offer: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1837299 Help on Incorporations: http://cameronkeng.com/podcast-ep-1-incorporation/<p>You can email me directly at cameronkeng@gmail.com if you want to ask something privately.<p>Best, Cam.<p>Ps...Can we bring back the "Offer HN" pass it along attitude back? I missed how the community was really trying to help each other so openly...
I've got a question a lot of people might find useful. An American company employing freelancers from another country. When do you start withholding taxes on their income? Ever? Never? Can you just pay them a lump sum and forget about it? What are the rules for figuring out how to handle recurring freelance expenses.
In our case, we're a travel magazine, employing freelance authors. Some authors are citizens of the U.S. living abroad, and others are non-citizens living in their own country or a third country.
