i am not a US citizen and i am not fiscally located in the US, I am a coffee grower in my country, we sell all our product to a US mayor broker in TX ( he is my exclusive buyer in USA), we own a web site, and we got retailing coffee sales in USA by our site, after each sale made in our web site we buy the coffee back from the broker in TX, he send the coffee in our behalf with our name in the box to my web site costumers within USA, the TX broker bill me for the coffee price and i pay him, of course i got profits from that transaction, i am not living in the US, my retailing costumers pay me by paypal when they buy coffee in my web site, my paypal account is based in USA, also i have a personal bank account in the USA i use this account to transfer the funds after each sale to my country, i not live in US but i come for a month or two every year as business visit to my costumers, what US taxes i am subject?……
I forgot to mention, i try to contact a accountant, but i have no luck with them, my case is not easy and they seems to not understand, even this far, internet sales still growing and people is not familiar to them.
