No.
I trust you are reporting your net rental income on a 216 return?

Your portfolio investments are not considered "Canadian" any longer, as you paid your deemed disposition tax when leaving Canada. Note that you are not supposed to maintain a brokerage account in Canada when living in US.

It is simpler if you sell before moving, but you would have two years to sell without any US taxes (unless you rent it out) and there is no chance that any gains would occur after entering Canada (which would be taxable in Canada).

You'd have to point us to where you "heard" this from.

Canadian Interest is taxable in US if you reside in US. Even in a TFSA.

No, it does not involve household income. Cdns do not file joint returns. Please do not post misinformation as part of your spam

You likely will not want to file as a non-resident of US, as you will be taxed on your US income at a very high rate. As I said, you will likely want to file a full year 1040 (joint with your spouse) as this will be the lowest US tax. You do not have to meet any day requirement to do this, as Cdns e...

For Canada, number of days don't matter. You would file as an "Emigrant" based on the specific date you leave Canada. If you leave Canada before your spouse, you will still be selling your "half" of the house as a non-resident. No taxes, but some paperwork in Canada. If you start...

Of course. It is the correct withholding, so IRS will accept it.

You would need to move to the US.

You do need to report the sale, because you were non-resident. Did you follow all the non-resident rules for Cdn property sale? Otherwise expect a penalty.

That is the final tax, since you didn't follow the rules for periodic withdrawal. Even if you file an NR-7-R, it will be of no use, because they will ask for your withdrawals and see that your withdrawal was not periodic, The only way you *might* reduce your tax on this year's withdrawal is by filin...

You can, but why give a false address? If you are physically living in Canada, you should only use a Cdn address. And you should be paid on a Cdn payroll.

Your TN would only be used for occasional entry.
