Re: Telecommute Question
They, the employer, would be best served NOT hiring you under a W2, but rather, contracting to you under a 1099. Pretty sure it would be an easier hoop to jump through for them. However, you would be responsible for filing your own taxes if they do so. That being the case, make sure you account for that in your hourly rate negotiations. Good luck!

Re: Telecommute Question
Hey Andrew, Now I don't have any concrete experience, but I do see a lot of telecommuting posts here. My trick knee says that it's tough enough for US residents to find telecommuting work with US companies. So being a fellow Canuckyou may find it challenging to say the least. I would tend to think the further east you are and the further east the US company may be could help as there is simply a lot of CFers out that way in both countries (I'm west coastand their ain't many of us here).

Re: Telecommute Question
Speaking of telecommuting, does anyone know of any legitimate sites/sources for finding telecommuting work (not just for programming, but data entry and other legit kinds of jobs NOT involving sales calls, etc.)?

RE: Telecommute Question
Andrew, my advice would be to file the necessary paperwork to create a corporation or LLC. That's what I did here in Nova Scotia when I got started, then you and the company do work corp to corp. No W2s or 1099s to worry about.
