This, I think needs to be thought through. Karma resides in the field of the 3 guṇa-s. This ātman is perfectly ~stainless~ as the wise say. Completely aloof from any influence of the 3 guṇa-s.
Now at times people tend to call the soul jīva. This is not the best name for ātman and why at times things get mixed up. Hence the great interest in this understanding and to insure one gets the concepts and ideas aligned properly.
