I'm the president of a small 501(c)(6) non-profit. Our budget is under $50K, we have never paid our officers or directors.
A Canadian entity wants to hire the non-profit to do some consulting that would be done by a couple of the officers. The work is directly related to our mission, and the entity would for political reasons rather hire the non-profit than hire us directly.
Would it be a problem for the non-profit to pass the money through to the people who did the work and issue us 1099s? Since there's a tax treaty and most of the work would be done in the US I don't think there's international tax issues.
