There is a special contract between the US and Switzerland to avoid double taxing. You do not have to be
worried about paying taxes in Switzerland AND in the US. You will have to pay tax in the US if you stay a
minimum of 180 days (I think) in the US, but you can deduct taxes which you pay in Switzerland.
