Hi,

You need to provide more information on your duration of stay and if you are PR,EP holder etc

For a start, for singapore tax, the main point it to determine if you are a tax resident in Singapore.

You are deemed a tax resident of singapore if you meet the following criteria :
1. Singapore or Singapore PR holder
2. Foreigner who stayed in Singapore for above 183 days or more.

You can read more about your applicable tax rate here :
IRAS: Income tax rates

There are also special tax schemes established which can help you.

1. not ordinary resident tax scheme.
IRAS: Not Ordinarily Resident (NOR) Scheme

2. Area Representative tax scheme.
IRAS: Area Representative Scheme

I am not 100% sure of US tax laws so i will not comment on how to avoid double taxation.
