We are a Canadian company researching the workforce implications of expanding our business into the US.
Our situation: Our business plan provides for 1 US employee working from home. Our company currently does not have a physical presence in the US, and aside from a home based employee we do not have plans to establish one. The role would be one of a trainer / quality assurance working in conjunction with an American publicly held company who would be offering our suite of products through their US business office locations. I am an American expat and have also administered a US payroll from Canada, but it was already set up when I started, so my questions: Do we need to incorporate or register as a legal corporate entity in the US before we can administer a US payroll, or is it possible to obtain an EIN or TFIN without incorporating? I have also been asked to scope the difference between hiring a consultant versus an employee, including any possible liabilities associated with a consultant. |
