Canadian citizen offered commission sales job in US. Taxes?

Hi,

Okay i'm getting married soon to an American citizen in a few months, so I have to wait for my work permit.

However I was just offered a commission sales job, however I'm a canadian citizen. The person that interviewed me said all i need is a TIN # or he could just take a copy of my passport or Canadian social insurance number and pay that way as I'm hired as my own company and not an employee. He also said that they don't do taxes and just give me the commission cheques and I do the taxes myself. I don't understand how this works as I thought I needed a TN or H1B visa? How will this work. Won't it cause any problems while I'm here or with Canada Revenue Agency (IRS Canada)

Will I be able to cash my cheques without any difficulties? (I do have a US bank account though I'm not sure if there'll be issues with the IRS if I install these cheque payments).

Thank you.

You cannot work a US sales until you get US papers. sales jobs are not covered by any temp work visa.
Don't screw up your life in US by starting on the wrong foot. Get married, get your papers then you can do what you want.

Absolutely! Thank you!
