Cross-Border Remote Work Taxes

Remote work across state and provincial lines triggers real tax complexity. Here's a starting framework.

Within the US

You generally owe income tax where you physically perform the work. Some states (NY, MA) apply "convenience of the employer" rules that can pull you back into their tax base.

Between US and Canada

Cross-border remote work involves treaty interpretation, payroll registration, and often a professional advisor. Do not freelance this.
