<prompt> Human: I do some small time consulting work predominantly for Canadian clients but am getting interest from potential clients based in the US. Ive never dabbled in this before so just trying to determine the implications. I did a basic Google search on the topic and am guessing this is where I stand. I need to file an M-7 form to get a taxpayer ID with the IRS, then provide an M-8 form to my clients so they can remit full funds to me without withholding taxes. Could someone clarify if its more complicated than this?  <response>: If you arent a US citizen and work in Canada you have 0 obligations to pay US taxes or report anything to the US.
