Disclaimer: I know what I'm doing is a little shady, but I don't have a means to an end in my situation just yet.
I'm "unofficially" working for a US company abroad (it's a work from home job). They require employees to live in the US, but I haven't found a job in my new country yet, and with a VPN, I've been able to work a few months with them so far without problems while I study the new language and prepare myself to get a job here.
With this new Affordable Care Act coming into play, I'm exempt from paying fees since I live abroad. I already have residency in my new country officially. My question is, how is this going to affect filing for taxes if the job I'm working for is unaware of my residency status? I know I'm risking either my job or a fine or both, but to what extent?
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
