FAQ
Canadian contractors are not subject to US tax reporting requirements like Form 1099 because they are not US residents or citizens. Instead, Canadian contractors may receive their own country's equivalent tax forms or documentation from their clients or employers in Canada, depending on local tax regulations.
Yes, Canadian contractors can work in the US, but they must adhere to specific visa and work permit requirements. Generally, Canadian citizens have the advantage of being eligible for a nonimmigrant NAFTA Professional (TN) visa, which allows them to work in certain professional occupations in the US.
Instead of filling out a 1099, when you hire Canadian contractors, you should request a completed W-8BEN from them. This form ensures compliance with the IRS and the Canada-US tax treaty; without it, you are required to withhold and remit 30% tax on all contractor earnings.
The IRS requires a flat 30% withholding on ALL types of payments to foreign national individuals UNLESS: The individual has a U.S. tax identification number (SSN or ITIN) and qualifies for a tax reduction under the tax treaty between the U.S. and their country of tax residency.
The T2125 form is used to report your business or professional income. It includes details of your business activities, income, expenses, and net income. You should complete a separate T2125 form for each self-employed business or profession you have.
Step 1: Fill out Form T1, which is called the General Income Tax and Benefit Return. You'll list your independent contractor income on Line 104. As an independent contractor, the company that hires you for your services will fill out a T4A slip and send it to the CRA. They'll also send a copy of it to you.
