Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Candaian using Tax Id # in NYC

Do you mean using the EIN on your personnel records at the other employer in place of a Social Security number? That can be done **if** you are an independent contractor in regards to the employer. That makes you responsible for your own withholding taxes, benefits, etc. You must also meet the IRS standards for independent contractor; they're pretty specific and they're pretty tetchy about allowing the status to any who sort of meet it but not quite.

What you propose can be done; it just comes with a price. Talk with your accountant or tax lawyer to determine the price you would pay.

Good luck.
