Let me help and point you in the right direction on handling your concern about adding your concern, Bhnash.

 

QuickBooks Online (QBO) only allows you to enter a US address when adding a contractor. Based on the scenario, I recommend reaching out to a tax adviser or an accountant for further guidance. They can advise on the best method to set up the contractor, ensuring accurate financial records. 

 

In case you have to add the contractor, I can walk you through completing this task. Here's how:

 

  1. Log in to your company and navigate to the Payroll menu to select Contractors.
  2. Click the Add contractor button to display the Add a contractor screen, 
  3. From there, fill the Name and Email fields with the appropriate data or tick the Email this contractor if you wish the contractor to key in their information.

If you've selected to email option, let's wait for the contractor to fill in the information. Otherwise, perform the following steps:

  1. Press the Add link next to Personal details.
  2. In the Personal details screen fill in the fields with the correct information, especially the Contractor type
  3. Once done, click Save

If you have to set up a vendor paid with a foreign currency, browse the following guide for detailed instructions: Set up and use Multicurrency in QuickBooks Online (To create a new vendor section).
