    How would 1099 affect a Canadian Resident
    Hi I just got a job offer by an American company and they would want me to go with 1099, but I will be working in Canada specifically Ontario. So my question is, how does this affect me or my income? Can someone help me better understand how 1099 works for a Canadian Resident employed by a US firm but working in Canada? Thanks, anything will help.

    Thanks.

    Is there anyone out there that is familiar with Canadian tax laws or have recommendations for a forum or site to get more information.

    You would fill out your Canadian tax forms recognizing your income. You live and reside in Ontario so you would pay Provincial - Ont taxes and Canadian - Federal taxes

    I cannot vouch for Captain Forest's credentials as a tax expert, but he lives in Canada (according to his profile), which makes him more qualified than me!
