Keywords:
Tax Automation, Taxation, taxation issues, Foreign EntitiesAbstract
This study explores the advantages and challenges associated with tax automation for foreign individuals and entities engaged in business activities within the United States. The article examines the significance of tax automation in addressing the complexities of U.S. tax regulations and policies applicable to foreign individuals and entities earning income in the United States, whether directly or indirectly. Tax automation has provided valuable guidance in navigating the tax regulations for foreign individuals and entities to ultimately reduce compliance risks, improve work efficiency, and promote the rationality of tax planning. At the same time, tax automation opens up challenging issues of stability and security of technology, as well as the need for an enhanced competency of tax professionals to develop specialized expertise in matters relevant to foreign individuals and entities. The article addresses both the opportunities and challenges of tax automation for foreign individuals and entities by providing a series of measures, including a deeper analysis of activities that trigger U.S tax reporting requirements, and an understanding of the various tax forms needed throughout the tax process.
