Hello,
I am accompanying my wife to the U.S. under an L2 visa (she is the L1). During this time, I will be working for a Canadian company who would prefer to not have to setup a US payroll since I am the only one working out of the U.S. We will both maintain our Canadian residency.
Does anyone know what the tax implications would be working in U.S. for the Canadian company who will issue me a T4 (Canadian version of a W2).
Advice I received suggested that since I am only receiving Canadian income on Canadian payroll and keeping residency, I should just file Canadian income tax and a $0 income non-resident tax return while my wife, working for a US company, should file non-resident US tax for her income received.
Does this check out to anyone?
