Re: Giving up GC and staying permanently in Canada
Yes, I understand I will still need to file US-sourced income on my 1040NR. But it would still save the work of filing a dual status (or a full year 1040 and claiming income exclusion or FTC etc). I guess with 1040NR, I'll lose any full-year basic exemption amt. Some additional info I found online: ...

Re: Giving up GC and staying permanently in Canada
A Quick update and a follow-up question: I ended up submitting the I-407 to abandon my GC in December 2022, so I am not longer a GC holder. I have a question though. AFAIK, technically, GC holders ARE allowed to file as non-resident (1040NR) based on closer ties. However it may lead to issues when t...

Re: Giving up GC and staying permanently in Canada
Just wanted to see if anyone has run into a similar experience. If I choose to file a 1040 for the whole year even though I'm giving up my GC in Sept, what are the pros and cons?
I'm just curious how IRS will know that I'm no longer a resident.

Giving up GC and staying permanently in Canada
Hello, I am a Canadian citizen and a US GC holder (since 2017). I was working and living in the US until 2021 when I moved back to Canada. I've been filing my US taxes as a resident to maintain my green card. I filed an re-entry permit and it's about to expire in Jan 2023. I've decided to stay in Ca...

Re: Capital gain from selling principal residence and foreign tax credit
I don't think so. You can only claim credits on the SAME income. Since it's not taxed in Canada, you can't use these credits to claim against other taxable income in Canada

Re: Form 8938 and FBAR for Canadian brokerage account
Ah, I found the definition here as well. This seems legit. (ii) Custodial account. The term custodial account means an arrangement for holding a financial instrument, contract, or investment (including, but not limited to, a share of stock in a corporation, a note, bond, debenture, or other evidence...

Re: Form 8938 and FBAR for Canadian brokerage account
I found this on this site, but not sure about the source. Based on this definition, I think a brokerage account should be custodian. https://www.expatforum.com/threads/form-8938-deposit-or-custodial-us-citizen-in-canada.745914/ Page 9 of this guide provides definitions of depository and custodial ac...

Calculating Foreign Tax Paid on T-2209
I am US GC Holder and a Canadian Citizen. I moved back to Canada last year and did an internal transfer within my company, so I am on Cdn Payroll now. However, I still have stocks vesting over the past year which are still mostly US-sourced. So I have a W2 from my employer for the US sourced income....
