I live in the USA. I’m starting to do Freelance work with a french company. I have a LLC.

• What should I be aware of?
• I know I’ll be reporting my taxes in the US, should I ALSO report taxes in France?

Thanks!

You don’t need to report anything in France, but you might be liable for collecting VAT at the EU level. Further reading on the topic with a few relevant links:

Assuming you’d like to do everything by the book, confirm the specifics with your client - their accountant who will know the gory details and walk you through what you need to do.
