I´m not a US citizen and I never put a foot in US.
This is like the ten time that I make this question, because if I had to pay the taxes of the US, plus the taxes of my country, plus the agent, I need stoll a bank to pay all of them. Will be work and energy for nothing. Then, but I see the Alfaguara prize (conntest for novels with a company bassed in spain and can participate in the conteste everyone with a novel in spanish) and they say they give you U$S 175.000, but you must pay taxes in Spain, that expressed in the contract. I was thinking That maybe that happen because is “a prize”. In the same contract say that you don´t gonna receive money from the first 150 thousand books selled, and they give you it like a prize, and you had to pay for it label, casuse is not considered has copyright, like if was the loto or something like that.
Some people had speak about duble tax treaty or something like that, others say that I just must pay taxes in my country because is where I live, other say that I go to the embassy, That I hasd to go to the internet site of the IRS, and I loose there in the first page.....
Also I saw, trying to discover something, the contract for the publicity system of google, Adsense, and they divide you in three categories: American company, foreing company with employeds in the US and people who don’t “touch anything” in the US, And I –against- can find me there.
Other people speak about a 1040NR or something like that –explanation please- or something called W7. I know ar form from the IRS but I don´t know How much it work with my case. Other say that tell me is that I need an atorney specialized in tax law, something a little expensive when I don get nothing of money.

IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, DO IT!!!!
Thank you
