@Opus 17 that being said, I am reading through info on the tax treaty between the US and Canada and the elimination of double taxation. It applies to federal (which makes sense to the contractor filing a zero federal return as they pay taxes in Canada), but I do not see anywhere a statement with respect to individual state taxes. From my research so far, California seems to be able to tax those earnings separately, but if they pay in Canada, would that credit not apply to a California NR return?
