Also, for the other 4 I subcontracted work out to that ARE US Citizens, do I send them 1099s or how do I include that as well on my income taxes and what info will I need to report their subcontracted work I paid them for via paypal? I was told by the Canadian subcontractor her accountant told her she does not need to fill out the w-8ben and it would not work because she was performing services outside of the US and it was digital subcontracted work, and she's not actually performing services in the US.

Thanks for your clarification. I had a W-8BEN and did not withhold as is the rule. Just out of curiosity, how then does the Foreign person report their US income? Do I file anything that the IRS can reconcile with the Foreign person?
A foreign citizen reporting their US based income would report their income on a 1040 NR form to the IRS. Whether they file this or not is up to their discretion.The only reporting tool available for you is the 1099 Misc form because this would match up with the information reported in the 1040 NR form filed with the IRS, if filed.
