I just bought $300,000 of a start up company stock and I am a forgeigner living in mExico (mexsican citizen).
I do not work or live in the USA.
Does anyone know if the company gets bought out or goes public and I double my money to $600,000 within a year or so, will I have any capital gains?
My understanding is zero taxes will be owed in the US because it is stock (usually that's the case for publiucly traded companies but is it the same foir private start up companies?)
can anyone direct me to a tax lkawyer sepc ialized in this area? or the tax code? could not find anything on start ups on the IRS.Gov site!
