Does anyone here freelance? If so, do you have canadian clients? How do you work the tax situation out? I have the potential to get a fairly large job and they're trying to figure out how to work the taxes. I know that there is an agreement between the US and Canada and they are saying that they'd withhold a certain percentage and that I'd fill out a certain "WN" IRS tax form. Does anyone know what these forms are?

I'd like to provide them with the information in order to make it easier for them so that I may get this job. Thanks in advance if anyone happens to know this information.

Very best,

LGG

What I did was invoice them in Canadian dollars. Then they don't really have to do anything, except pay your invoice. It's your responsiblity to claim the income in USD on your US taxes. I had cross-border accountants (located in Canada) do my taxes for two years and this is how they did it. It means you have to put aside a chunk of dough aside to pay your taxes. I've also heard that you should pay your taxes quarterly if you do this ... I haven't done this yet, but I really should look into it.

We got a question on our taxes this year from the IRS, but it was on a separate item and this never came up. So, they looked at our return, but didn't ask anything about it.

I hope this helps. Love to hear what others do.
