US taxpayers are required report all their world wide income. Being a shareholder of any business domestic or foreign living in the US or abroad does not subject anyone to pay a US Income tax regular or increased. The US tax is an INCOME tax so the criteria is not ownership but was there any income as a result of the income, i.e. dividends etc. and if foreign tax was paid on that income then the Foreign Tax Credit can be used.
