If you are working inthe US, you must file a US tax return even if you are paid from Canada. If you earn less than $10,000 while in the states and a Canadian resident, you can exempt the up to $10,000 from FEDERAL TAX. However, if you are working in California or Oregon or New York or Georgia or any of the other 39 states with income tax returns, you will owe some amount of state tax. Any state or federal taxes you pay can then be used as a foreign tax credit when you file your Canadian returns. You should book a priovate consultation for yourself and any of your employees who are physically performing "any" duties in the USA. If necessary, we can arrange to do this at your plant or office.
