TN holder also working in Canada with non-TN US clients

Hey all, I imagine the subject is a little confusing but here is the situation:

I work in the US part-time, living here most of the year (I think enough to quality me as a Resident).

I have two current TN permits here for two part-time contracts. I also work in Canada, sometimes remotely while I'm in the US (database programming). When I'm back in Canada, I also do work for US clients. I don't do that work when I'm in the US and I don't have TN permits for that other work.

What do I do for taxes? How do I claim the US client income I receive while I'm living in Canada? If I have TN permits for other clients with whom I work while I am in the US, does that complicate the work I do for the other US clients when I'm in Canada?

Thanks,
Ryan
 
Your TN work permit is not really relevant to your tax situation.
It mostly depends on your residency statuses & your relationships to your clients (contractor vs. employee).
It sounds complicated enough you should simply hire a cross-border tax accountant to sort everything out for you.
Most likely you will need to file tax returns in both countries.
 
I agree. You appera legal from an immigration point of view. Forums.serbinski.com habdles questions like yours
