A lot of this could have been solved by (pick a few):

1. forming a 1099 relationship with your devs if they weren't working full time.

2.Using a Personal Employment Organization.

3. Doing your research before blindly incorporating in Texas. We could debate for ages the merits of the state and federal system, but if you were going down this whole road of opening a company in another country and hiring there, then it would have been useful to talk to a tax lawyer and an accountant who are familiar with the issues involved.

TLDR;Europeans whining about things they didn't research, again.

Who said we didn't get professional lawyers and CPA's?

if you did then please name them so I know not to use them. Hiring employees in other states should be bread and butter for any tax accountant working with businesses.

As I read the article, hiring the employees wasn't the issue at all.

Nitai was just aghast that the laws were so strange.

Researching should have been the job of the CPA
