Independent contractor living in Canada, providing software

Post by COMPASS »

An independent contractor, a Canadian, performed software development services to a US company from his office in Canada. There was no travel to the US involved, however, the contractor payments were made to his existing savings account at one of the US banks.
Does the contractor have an obligation to file a US tax return?

no
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
