US Citizen doing business in Mexico?

jfc123 - 3-28-2005 at 06:18 PM

Can anyone direct me to WebSite or person that might shed some light on how investment, profit and liabilities might impact someone who lives in the US.

Examples:
I've been asked questions regarding US tax with relation to profit & losses in Mexico owned business by US citizen.

If someone hurts ( falls, slips etc ) themselves on your rented bungalo, can they sue you in the states? Does it make a difference if they paid you in states (paypal?) for nights in Mexico?

Would appreciate any info.
Thanks

An American can sue another American in the United States regardless of Where in the World the event occurred. An American can be held criminally liable for violent acts against another American regardless of where the criminal act occurred.

Every once in awhile, such an event will appear in the news media. There have been a number of such events involving Murder over the years.

yes you must pay US taxes for money earned with your business in Mexico. even if it is just from renting your winter home.
