Canadian EI

Post by tom2005e »

My wife moved to the U.S. in 2011. She has a green card. What is the easiest way to file the Canadian EI she received while in the U.S. on our combined 1040 tax form this year?

First off make sure that she was correctly taxed in canada (ie a flat 25% tax withheld). This is the first thing.

Then she should include all of the EI that was paid to her (along with all other income she recieved in 2011) on your joint 1040.

Then you include that income on form(s) 1116 (passive, and general EI is general), and the Cdn tax she paid, to get credit for it.

In June Boardwalk Empire Seasons 1-2 DVD Box Set fell to the bottom of the television barrel- partial nudity. By that Grey's Anatomy box set 1-7'm talking about the Whip Set, a block of lame car Game Of Thrones complete box set that not even Satan could condone. These Game Of Thrones complete Box Set 1 were not only aimed at a completely different demographic than every other G4 show but were worse than any of them. A similarity found in all Sons of Anarchy Seasons 1-4 Sets is that there's always a myriad of women in the picture who can't wait to get paid for what they're doing. one tree hill dvd had to watch in disappointment as I saw my favorite network slowly become MTV. Sons of Anarchy Season 1-4 dvd box set was Video Game Vixens, which was canceled in a heartbeat because even the morons running the channel knew Sons of Anarchy Season 4 box set had created a disaster. The Nurse Jackie dvd was pretty much a beauty pageant of 3D women that appeared in video games. Just Cougar Town dvd was enough to make me want to vomit. Hosted by House M.D dvd the really not-funny annoying guy from Damages dvd Love The 80's the show may have not been on for long, but the sheer fact that Project Runway dvd even existed was bad enough. And don't get me started on Barbed Wire Biscuit. To truly signify their insanity, Warehouse 13 dvd has gone after adult swim with a late-night block that sucks more ass than a toilet seat. Aside from Merlin dvd show that picks up on the TechTV vibe all the Modern Family dvd. Better with You dvd box set is the worst collection of cartoons I've ever seen. I'd even take Law and Order Special Victims Unit dvd show ever over this pile. Dead Like Me dvd has survived simply because anime works on Cartoon Network. And while Brothers and Sisters dvd may have the biggest anime titles on it, Supernatural dvd has some of the worst. To be fair The Best Of Soul Train dvd box set has sucked going back to the TechTV days. 30 Rock dvd's too bad that's the one G4 show not affected by change.
