In my husband's Canadian return, what is his foreign tax paid, is it just the Federal income tax withheld or the sum of all the taxes withheld (Federal Income + Social Security + Medicare) from his W-2?

Thanks in advance.

I am confused about filing two 2555s when we are trying to file jointly.
Does it mean that we cannot file 1040 as "married filing jointly" since line 21 will have two sources (his and my 2555). OR we just add the two 2555s and put it on line 21 of 1040 for "married filing jointly"?

Thanks for the clarification, I thought that we need to use a treaty declaration when filing form 2555. Anyway this makes it less complicated.

Can we also file form 3903 for all the moving expenses for our family?

Thanks for all your help Nelsona. Sorry for an inaccuracy on the previous post. I came to US on Dec. 21, 2005 not Jan. 2006. I started work on Jan. 2006 through TN visa. Will this mean that my husband is a deemed non-resident of Canada for 2005 tax returns? Also we are confused about form 2555 lines...

We still own a house in Canada which is not rented out and we have decided to maintain it for our use when we go back....
