Canadian PR working in US for Canadian Company

Post by sdhiman »

Hello

I was advised to post my question in this forum to get some expert help on tax situation.

I am a Canadian PR and a US Green Card Holder, recently moved from Canada to USA. If I keep working for my company in Canada as a contractor, I understand that they wont deduct any taxes and I file my own taxes at the end of the year. However since the company is located in Canada, is it correct to assume:

1) I will pay US taxes ONLY not Canadian and US
2) My company needs to issue a 1099 at the end of the year for the amount paid to me which I'll use to file my taxes in 2010?
3) If the company was located in USA as opposed to Canada and I worked as contractor, will it make anything easier? I am asking because the company does have a branch in USA so I am trying to figure out if they should pay me from the Canadian branch or US branch

Please advise and Thanks!
