I have an S-Corp in Virgina, USA.
I need to pay a person (independent contractor) in Egypt
$2,000 for some work they peformed in Egypt for me.
The Egyptian person has a Citibank personal account.
What is the best way to pay the person for their services
that will give me a tax deduction?
(a) paper check made out to the contractor name, which he
will cash/deposit at his Citibank
(b) western union him the money to his name
(c) third-pary programmer payment service like guru.com
Do I need to file a 1099 since the amount was over $600? How
does all this work??
Obviously, I would like to claim this as a business deduction.
