taxdan Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 A Canadian came to US to work for a short period in 2010 and received a 1099 MISC (box 7) for $1,650. He had no other earnings and went back to Toronto. Do I simply file a return with a schedule C (there were little or no expenses) and have him pay the s/e tax? Do I file a 1040NR since he was only here temporarily for the work? I appreciate the advice. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the tax treaty, most likely you will file schedule C and 1040NR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
