    Non-resident alien as independent contractor--US taxes?
    Hello.

    I am a non-resident alien living in Denmark. I work as an independent contractor, selling products to European distributors for an American company. I live and work in Denmark.

    I am in the U.S. about 10 days per year to meet with the American company.

    Must I file a return? :confused:

    If you are a U.S. citizen, yes, you must file a U.S. tax return.

    Otherwise, no tax return is required for just a 10-day visit.
