FAQ
If your contractor isn't a US citizen and works outside US, you'll just need them to complete a W-8BEN (or a W-8BEN-E if they're a business entity). You don't need to send the form to the IRS, just keep it on file with your payment records.
Do you issue a 1099 form to international contractors? You do not need to issue or collect Form 1099-NEC from your international contractor. Form 1099 is only used if the company and contractor are based in the U.S. Form W-8BEN declares the contractor's foreign status and will suffice.
Your company must abide by local labor laws when hiring international contractors. That means complying with not only the laws of your own country but also the laws of the countries where your contractors work. Change is constant in international business, with labor laws updated regularly.
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E Foreign independent contractors must submit IRS Form W-8BEN (for individuals) or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (for entities) to the US company they work for. This form certifies the contractor's foreign status and can help reduce or eliminate withholding tax on payments.
It is illegal for an employer to classify a worker as an independent contractor if the worker qualifies as an employee. An employer also cannot make a worker an independent contractor by having workers to sign a contract saying that they are independent contractors, when in reality they are employees.
First, employers must seek certification through the U.S. Department of Labor. Below you will find a link to documents and forms. Once the application is certified/approved, the employer must petition the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services for a visa.
Today, it's possible to hire independent contractors from any part of the world, thanks to improvements in technology and communications. It's a great idea to consider Mexico if you're looking to expand your team. Its proximity and strong economic ties to the US are definite advantages.
In order to register in Minnesota as a foreign corporation, you'll need to file a Foreign Corporation Certificate of Authority to Transact Business in Minnesota with the Minnesota Secretary of State, Business Services. This costs $220 or $200, depending on your filing method.
1099s for US Contractors Abroad You will then use these forms to report your worldwide income on your US tax return. Foreign clients may not be required to send you a Form 1099. In that case, you will be responsible for tracking your own income so you can report it accurately on your US taxes.
