Canadian Resident working in US for Canadian Company

Post Thu Apr 01, 2010 1:52 pm

Hello

This is my first post on the forum. I was not able to find the information I was looking for hence posting a new topic.

I am a Canadian Resident (PR Card Holder) who moved to US 2 weeks ago on a CR1 visa. The stamp on my passport is my temporary green card until the actual card comes in mail. If I work for my Canadian employer as a consultant while in US, do I have to pay taxes in both Canada and US for that income? I believe I will be issuing an invoice to my employer every month billing them for my services and then take care of my taxes at the end of the year. However I want to be sure that I dont pay any taxes on that income in Canada just because the company is Canadian.

Anyone done this before? Appreciate the responses

forums.serbinski.com is where I answer tax questions.

You will be taxable in US only on this income, since you will be living and working in US.

I posted the question and some other things about this situation that came to my mind in the other form. Do you mind taking a look and answering those for me? Thanks
