I'm a Colombian citizen working as a consultant for a small US Company. I'm working from abroad (Colombia). My questions are:
Thankyou
What form does this US company need to fill out for taxes?
Nothing. You may need to provide to the company a form called W8-BEN to certify your foreign status.
Can I pay for taxes in Colombia and not pay in the US? (I've been told that all I need is to show that I've paid them in my country)
You don't need to show anything to anyone. You only pay taxes to the country you're resident of, Colombia.
Can the company pay me in a US bank account in US dollars?
Technically they can, legally you'll have to check with a lawyer familiar with the Colombian law on the matter. Some countries restrict their citizens in handling foreign currency/accounts.
