Working for a Swiss Co., but living in U.S. (Tax Questions)
Hello,

I will soon be working for a Swiss company, training in Lausanne for five weeks, and then I will return to the United States. I will commute as needed, yet the bulk of my work will be done from home via linking into the main server.

I will be paid via direct deposit to a bank in Switzerland, and pay Swiss taxes, etc. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation. I have seen posts regarding working AND residing in Switzerland, yet I don't recall seeing any for people working for a Swiss company but maintaining primary residence in the United States. I may relocate to Switzerland if it makes it easier, yet details haven't been finalized. Thanks in advance for any help, and I look forward to meeting some of you when I travel to Lausanne in late March through April.

I spent time yesterday looking at I.R.S. related sites, and I am now more confused. I know that must come as a shock.

John
