We do Turkish to English and English to Turkish. My partners do the translating, and I do the editing. It's a small thing that just kind of popped up. One of my old private students' company needed a translator, and I knew translators, and I thought, 'Hey... Opportunity...'

to himy... - your post is convincing. my reading is that until you've been there 330 days you owe taxes. since the school yer starts in august (or so), i'd probably pay us taxes thte first 2 yrs. even though other posters are willing to take a chance based on anecdotes of people getting away with it, there are other anecdotes of frozen bank accounts and confiscated property for not paying ... whether taxation is 'illegal' or not, it doesn't help me to be logically correct if all my stuff's gone. but i favorited the irs.gov page


You can always fly into the US, visit relatives, conduct any necessary business, then stay in Canada or Mexico to keep your time to 329 days...get a visa, and stamps and hotel receipts to prove it.

i still have accounts in an american bank. they could be frozen.
look, tha's reeeeealluy bad advice. i certainly am not happy with a lot of US enterprises but i don't think it's proper to urge peoplke not to pay taxes. are you going to help these people when they getthemselves in trouble?
anyway, i realize different people have different ideas. there's no point in repeaingmine on th ssubject any further.

Interest rates are still hovering at about 9% here. Turkey's not the gold mine for savings that it was a year or two ago, but it's still worth moving all that money to an account here.
