Dual US/Can citizen working in US for Canadian corp

Hi -

I've done some searching on this site but think I may have a unique situation:

I'm a dual US and Canadian citizen. Born in US, moved to Canada and naturalized.

I am currently incorporated in Canada, where I work as an IT consultant. Recently, I have been offered a short term contract in the state of WA and wish to pursue that as a contracted corporate resource.

Having US citizenship seems to exclude me from me from taxation treaties between the two countries or even filing the appropriate form for a 'Foreign Entity' because I, personally, have US citizenship.

I don't mind paying the US taxes, as I'll get a credit against my Canadian ones. But how do I set up my Canadian corporation to be the recipient of payments from the client and then have it, in turn, pay me when I'm physically in the US?

My company would be a sub-contractor to another one. They want me to either submit IRS form W-9 or W-8BEN. W-9 ignores my foreign status and W8BEN explicitly states I'm not eligible since I have US citizenship.

Thanks in advance for any insight or advice.

I answerr these Q's at forums.serbinski.com; here is a forum for travel

Thank you for the response.

I did review the forum. While I wasn't able to read through each of the 2000+ posts in the relevant area, it does not appear that my specific circumstances are addressed.

For example, there were numerous entries regarding dual US/Can citizens returning to the US for temporary work under a W2 status. Unfortunately, the additional criteria of 'owning a Canadian corporation and using that in the US' did not appear to be addressed.

If you could point me to a specific thread, I would greatly appreciate it.

I will summarize my situation below:

US/Can dual citizen
Own Canadian Corp to be used in US for business transactions
Temporary work assignment in US (physically located as a consultant)
Current residence is Canada

Thanks.

lol--agnelson is again, going to ask you to ask that question on the above mentioned forum--if you have not already!!

actually someone asked this very question TWO DAYS AGO, so enough about doing a search.

besides, I didn't say look for answer there, I implied ASK there.

You are getting off on the wrong foot with the wrong person.
