| Hello,
I have a client that paid a Canadian contract labor for a small project in the US. The Canadian plans to return before the 180 days are up so as to not lose his insurance. Should my client obtain a W-9 and then send a 1099 at year's end? What is correct in this situation? | |

| I am not sure that I fully understand your client's situation. However, if the Canadian is a nonresident alien that has performed services in the U.S. for your client, then your client likely should have withheld 30% tax on the payments. I am not sure if the U.S.-Canada Income Tax Treaty might modify this requirement to withhold. The client should report these payments on Form 1042. | |
