Hiring a Canadian to work in Canada for my U.S. business

I want to hire a Canadian web developer to work in Canada remotely for my U.S. business. I know I need to submit a 1042-S.

I know what all the websites say about this. Some say I have to take out U.S. taxes, others say that since they are working in Canada, I don't. Some say I have to fill out a 1099, others say I don't.

I'd like to know if someone on here actually has done this and what requirements, I as the hirer have to do, versus what the Canadian has to do.

Thanks!

I can guess and speculate. And I am not going to spend a penny on a tax lawyer until I find if it's even feasible.

That's why I asked for advice from someone who has actually done this.

I'd prefer receiving no answer if you have not had this experience.
