Self-employment tax for UN employees

Post by eden8 »

Hello, I am a dual-citizen working for the UN. I work remotely from Canada so plan to file form 2555 when filing my US taxes. I am trying to figure out whether I would still need to pay self-employment tax in the US. I do not believe I pay into CPP on my UN income so am not sure whether the totalization agreement still applies in my case. If I do not pay into CPP am I still liable to pay US self-employment tax?
