Question
I'm starting an LLC here in the U.S. (Texas state) and I want to recruit a couple of engineers who live abroad. They are not planning to migrate to the US, they'll work from home in their respective countries. How do I go about doing that? What's the tax implications? How does payroll work? Etc?
Answer
When I do this I use Elance.com or another similar marketplace. They handle all the logistics and payments through escrow. I've been doing this for years if you want to have a call about it. I have workers all over the world doing different pieces of my businesses and it's quite effective.
