Hi everyone,
I've done a lot of research but I am still a little confused on the topic. A little about my situation: I am a Canadian living in BC, and am going to be starting a full-time job in Seattle soon (one without an end date). I will be working there under a TN Visa.
Here are some of my questions:
1) Will I need to fill out an NR73 to determine my residency? For taxation purposes, I assume it is ideal to be deemed a non-resident of Canada. From my understanding, if I am deemed a non-resident, I will only have to pay taxes in Canada on Canadian earned income, whereas if I am a factual resident, I will have to pay the remaining difference in Canada, after the foreign tax credit.
2) I will be driving my Canadian car down to Seattle. Will I need to formally import my vehicle? I envision myself being there for 2-3 years.
3) Will I need to get my vehicle insured and plated by an American insurance company, or can I maintain my current insurance with ICBC?
Thanks a lot for your help!
