PK. Basically, I live in Canada. Have been self-employed since I moved here over 25 years ago. Became compliant in 98 by filling out the Form 2555, Sched C, TD9022. Up to now, I didn't get many T4 and was mainly self-employed. I always reported my worldwide income and any US income whenever I worked in the States. My Schedule C shows all of my self employed income and I was always under the impression (when I spoke to an IRS agent a long time ago) that I didn't need to file the SE form... As a result, I have never filed an SE and have never received any letters or info from IRS stating that I needed to.
Up to now, I have always just put down "self employed" under employer but recently thought that since I have a few other employers who pay me with cheques and give me a T4 (equivalent to a W2), I wasn't sure if I should still continue to leave it as "self-employed". My tax situation is quite unusual and bizarre and the IRS agent once told me that if he were me, he'd just hide in a cave!
