They need to be reported. Period.

So be sure to follow the steps required for a non-resident. Your Cdn broker may not be up to speed on that and may think that since you are Cdn, you don;t need to follow those rules. Here is an example: https://www.crowe.com/ca/crowemackay/insights/non-residents-selling-property-in-canada https://ww...

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.

2. It is the actual tax owed on your return; the term used is accrued tax.

He certainly can use FEIE. some limits come in to play, but your software will figure it

Is the amount less than $10K CAD? If so you can exclude it from your income by treaty. Was this the only Cdn source of income (other than interest, etc which is not reportable by non-residents)? If so, you probably should have filed a return for the province of Ontario along with T2203. As explained...

Yes, this is correct. Known as the kiddie tax.
Rules may have changed, but there was a provision where the parent could include this income on their return. Look into that.

Most states do not "honor" tax treaties. However most abide by the IRS definitions of income, and follow the information on 1040. In my opinion, the accountants are being overly aggressive, without state guidance. California taxes RRSP internal income. However they issued specific guidance...
