Exchange rate difference between Bank of Canada & IRS

Post by Livonian »

For 2011 1040 tax filing, I had earlier taken bank of Canada rate of 1 C$= 1.011 US$.

Before filing my tax return, I noticed IRS rate of 1 C$= 0.972 US$. Not that it makes a big difference but surprised to note a 4 % difference in exchage rates.

Corrected to IRS rate.
Thanks
