This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
I am Canadian with GC and am planning on moving back to Canada very soon. Not planning on giving up the GC.
I have been offered a job a US company and will be paid in US dollars. I'm not sure how they're setting me up as an employee and getting me benefits. I have not signed any forms such as W9s or W8BEN.
I'm their first person that they're hiring in Canada so I feel as if I'm helping them out. Is it better if they pay me as a contractor (maybe W8BEN) and not take any deductions out? In this case I pay my taxes in Canada for 2011? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!
