Taxes for a B1 visa holder who is isssued Form-1099

[reynold11]

Hello,

I am an independent contractor, working from India for a US firm. I intend to get B1 - Business visa for travel to the USA once a year for project discussions.

My question is:
For the work that I do in India, I am issued Form-1099 for the remunerations that I receive in India, by my US client. Does this mean I will have to file taxes as a non-resident to the USA(apart from the Indian taxes) even though I travel on business visa to the USA?

Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

No. Since all work is performed offshore, you do not need to pay US taxes.
