If you pay an employee, and that employee is a citizen of another country, never sets foot in the US, makes money on purely non-US clients, and gets paid in non-US currency, the IRS still requires that person to file a tax return in the US (and requires you to file appropriate paperwork).
With us, we have a foreign controlled corporation in the Bahamas. Half the owners of the corporation are non-US residents/citizens (living outside the US). The IRS still requires them to pay taxes. It's a laughable system, but that's the IRS for you.
