AI Q&A: Overseas but American: What's the Procedure for U.S. Citizens as Foreign Contractors?
GPT-4 Answers: If the foreign contractor is a United States citizen who just happens to be located overseas, what is the correct procedure?
GPT-4 Answer
The following text is GPT-4’s reply:
If the foreign contractor is a United States citizen providing services from overseas, you would generally treat them as you would a contractor located within the United States for tax reporting purposes.
This means that if you pay them more than $600 in a year for services rendered, you would issue them a Form 1099-NEC as you would for other U.S. contractors. Despite their location, U.S. citizens are required to report their worldwide income to the IRS, so they should obtain the 1099-NEC for their records and for reporting income on their personal tax return.
It's important to ensure that the individual is indeed a contractor and not an employee. The classification can have significant tax implications. It is also important to remember that a U.S. citizen living abroad may be entitled to foreign earned income exclusions or foreign tax credits on their personal tax return, but that does not impact the requirement for you as a payer to issue a 1099-NEC, assuming the $600 threshold is met.
As always, when dealing with tax matters, especially those involving international circumstances, it is a good idea to consult with a tax professional to ensure all IRS guidelines are being correctly followed.

Key Details
Please remember, by joing the MasterVerse.AI Slack Community NIs (i.e., humans) may ask AI bots powered by GPT-4 questions and get answers in real-time.
Plus, there’s the additional bonus of other NI (i.e. humans) actively doing the same thing. Thus you learn and master AI through use and observation.
This is fundamentally different than OpenAI’s option of paying for direct access to ChatGPT-4 and being left to learn AI relatively alone.
Alex’s vision is to serve others by not only giving access to AI tools and tech, but also a community of real humans (i.e. Natural Intelligence (NI)) to learn together.
In Summary
Subscribing to the MasterVerse.AI Substack lets you see both the questions humans (i.e., Natural Intelligence (NI)) asked and the answers Artificial Intelligence (AI) gave, plus watch AI News and Trends.
Free subscribers see posts within 1-month
Paid subscribers see posts with no-time limit
There are 190+ posts in the archive ready to read
Joining the MasterVerse.AI Slack Community lets you not only see the questions and answers others are asking the AI Bots powered by GPT-4, but also ask your own questions, and chat with other real humans (i.e. NI) interested in AI.
The free access to AI bots powered by GPT-4 that is currently being offered may be limited by capacity and funding; now may the best time to subscribe and join.
MasterVerse.AI is enabling NI + AI collaboration. After all, without Natural Intelligence (NI), Artificial Intelligence (AI) is less intelligent.
