Contact UsI have an online business in Hong Kong and all the operation is there. All payment is in USD. I use USA Paypal to receive customers payments then withdraw to USA California bank. When I come to USA once a while, I just do the wire transfer the balance to my Hong Kong bank. DoI need to pay usa tax?
The reason I am using USA Paypal is to avoid HK Paypal bad exchange rate for USD to HKD. I can only receive HKD when I use Paypal direct withdrawal to HK bank.
Thank you in advance.

Are you a US Citizen or US Resident Alien (green card holder)? If so you need to report your world wide income to the IRS and pay tax on that world wide income.

I not US citizen nor US resident. I guess I don't need to report tax for USA?

From what you have posted, it looks like you have no obligation to pay US taxes.
