The only concern I have is that I checked some of immigraction forms and guides for sponsorship, and it indicates that the sponsor must return to live and continue to do so when persons being sposored become permannet residents. I assume that unless my parents dont cause troubles (which they wont) s...

I have sponsored my parents to immigrate to Canada, they landed in Canada on July 2007. I am now living in the US and need to know if me being non-resident of Canada could jeopardize my parents status in Canada?

Thanks for any comment

Hi telly or Nelson, I am entering the US income in quicktaxweb -- on the income session it asks the foreign income and foreign taxes paid, and it gives me around $7000 balance owing. 48000$ is my total income and ~9000$ is my taxes paid. Do I still have to put any numbers in the deductiosn session u...

That's not good, I need to keep TN/H1 inorder to get to GC. Is there any other way that wife can get Employment authorization. She was offered jobs but companie's lawyers cant get a TN or H1 because of category problem. I understand that H1 is not needed to get to GC however my employer's lawyer is ...

Hi, I currently have TN - will Switch to H1 on next openning and finally to GC. Question, Can I apply for E-1 or E-2 Treaty Trader or Treaty Investor at the same time with TN or H1. I need to open a self business here in US to do some contract work, and as well get my wife to be able to apply for EA...

I have not filed for non-residency in Canada, since my wife still flys back & forth frequently to Canada and we have 2 condos (both rented) and my wife living staying at her parent's house which she has a share in the house as well! Sounds like a good super strong tie to Canada to me!!! Most imp...

Hi all, Did anybody go through the canadian quicktaxweb software dealing with this. I am runing a test on it and I am reporting only the $43900 income from us employer and reported the toal of $8760 taxes paid according to my w-2 slip. My total balance owing as of this minute shows ~$9500 CAD!!! Now...

aha... now should I just add that Canadian income number to my wages on w2? (Box 7 of 1040) or do I add that to box 21 (Other Income)! Do I need to attach any Canadian documentations like T4?! Should I add straight up or change the current exchange rate to convert to US$? I am getting there Nelson, ...

ok now, I am using Turbo tax on line, on the income category I found there is a place to enter the foreign earned income. I entered 15000 in the salary from foreign employer, and that's the only number I entered. The funny thing is that it adds up to my tax reund. My total W2 income is 43900, it loo...

My eyes turned blue and I am still not sure how to approach this first year tax in the US. Considering I am on TN and will be back to Canada (according to this Visa nature) why would I care to report my Cdn investments/Incomes to the US? All my Cdn income is in Cdn bank and will not be cashed or tra...

Thanks for your comments, you mentioned to exclude the income thru form 2555 OR to Apply for Tax Credit thru 1116. From you posting I'd assume that 1) I have to choose between 2555 or 1116. 2) I also understand that using 2555 gives you a better tax range in the US rather than using 1116. Am I right...

Hi Guys, I moved to US from canada on TN on June 1st 2006 ( I meet the 183 days presence test). My wife and son officially got their TD on October 2006, however they went back & forth from June. My wife worked for her Canadian company all of 2006, while I worked in Canada upto June 1st. We dont ...

I read some of the posts similar to my situation and got confused with all the form numbers and other stuff. This is too much for me to handle at this time . I am already worried about my TN to GC process. And the tax being added to it. Maybe I should just pack and go back to Canada and live hapily ...
