Hiring a worker from abroad - remote work
I am a United States citizen, and I want to hire a programmer from abroad, which means he will be doing the work remotely from his own country. I learned recently that I can not assume that they will take care of taxes of their own part even if they are not US citizen, which means I would have to withhold certain % of their income. Now, this can be waived if they file a certain form - but there seems to be some confusion about which form to file. Does anybody know here for sure? When is the deadline? Any other things I should watch out for?
