Hi nelsona,

I filed departure return in year 2007. For year 2008 I'm non-resident of Canada. Should I file tax return to Canada with $0 income or just simply ignore it? Thanks a lot.

Thanks nelona! So when I file Canada tax, I don't need to fill any foreign income form, but have to attach a note to my tax return stating my net world income (in Canadian dollars) for the part of the year that I were not a resident of Canada. Correct?

nelson, for my case we file 1040 jointly, and file Canada tax. as a departuring resident. My wife's departure is 03/2007 and mine is 10/2007. Following A, B choice which is correct? A. Both of us don't need to report US income to Canada. B. I don't have to report US income, but my wife has to report...

Do you mean for this case he is deemed resident? In UFIle, there are only 2 choice: (deemed resident / non resident), thanks.

Hi nelsona, after reading so many post. I'm getting confused. I had RRSP contribute, but I didn't and no plan to withdraw it. Should I still include it in Form 8891?

Never mind. I saw your previous post answered this already

Hi nelsona. One more question. 1. After I filled form 2555 to exclude Canada wages, can I still put my CPP contribution and income tax deduct in form 1116? 2.

nelsona, I am using turbotax to prepare the tax. my understanding is that I should add 2 US W-2 income and 2 Canadian come in form 1040. And put 2 Canadian income as credit in Form 2555. Is it correct? But turbotax seems only allow me to enter W-2 income. How can I add Canadian income? Thanks a lot.

Tanks. It's really helpful!

My wife and I both have Canada income before moving and U.S. income after moving. My wife moved to U.S. from Mar, 2007. I moved to U.S. in Oct 2007, so I have very low U.S. income. Should we file U.S. tax jointly or separately? And should we file U.S. tax as full year residents or part year resident...

get a little confused. The company is incorporated. As owner I can get money either annual salary or dividend. If I treat it as dividend, after I paid Canadian tax, I have to pay US tax again? How? just treat net dividend(after Canadian tax) as income? And as my understanding, keeping an incorporate...

nelsona. I was working as an independent contractor at Toronto before. And I registered an incorporated company. I moved to US half year ago. I still have some money left in the company. I plan to file tax as non-resident of Canada this year. My question is: if next year I want to get dividend from ...
