Anybody can help me on this situation? Please your feedback and ideas would be SO appreciated.

I forgot to mention that my son's internship income was in Canada in 2013.

Thanks for help!

I would like to have someone help me with our situation for filing 2013 tax return. My son is attending Canadian college and this year is his third year. He has internship income for over ten thousand in 2013. If we claim him as our dependent, Turbotax won't allow me to report his income and ask my ...

We are now US permanent residents and working and living in the United States. Our son has attended a college in Canada since September 2011. He has around $8200 tuition cost and $4500 scholarship for the year of 2011. Now my question is how we can file our income tax return this year. Can we still ...

Thank you very much, Nelsona. now I understand. I have one more question (I hope this is the last one) that on form 2555 Part one General Information question 9 "list your tax home(s) during your tax year and date(s) established ___", should I only fill in our current address in U.S. or sh...

While I am doing our tax return by using the software, I encounter one question which will give us a very different result. Based on our situation above, does my husband and I need to do bona fide resident test or physical present test?

Thanks a lot for your prompt response!

Thank you very much, Nelsona!

Thank you for your instructions and your replies really help me a lot!
Do you mind recommending a better software for me to file US tax? I used UFILE in Canada. Form 2555 and 1116 really hard to figure out by hand. I tried several times.

If I cannot do these two forms by hand, what would you suggest that I should do? What is the consequence if I just ignore those two forms on filing 1040? Sorry for so many questions.

Thank you so much for your reply. I think I will use 1040 for our tax return. Now I have another question: on 1040 39b “if your spouse itemizes on a separate return or [color=red]you were a dual-status alien[/color], see page 31 and check hereâ€￾, should we check this box or not? What is the difference by checking it or just leave it blank?

You mentioned two forms: 2555 & 1116, where I can find those forms ‘cause the tax package that I got doesn’t include these two forms.

Hi, I have some tax questions regarding our own situation.
My husband had been working with TN visa in US since March 5th, 2007 and changed his visa status as H1 on September 2007. He had income in Canada from January to February, 2007. My son and I joined him and moved to US on June 30th, 2007. He only came back to visit us three times before we moved. I had a job in Canada and quit the job before coming to US and had income from January to May, 2007. I know both of us need to do income tax in Canada and US. Now my questions are:
1. When we file US return, which form is the correct one: 1040, 1040A or 1040NR
2. I changed our home address from Quebec to Alberta because we didn’t have a permanent address in US at that time and still keep the home address there. Now when I file Canada return, do I need to use tax form in Quebec or Alberta?
3. Can I claim my Canada student loan interest on filing US tax?

My questions might sound “stupidâ€￾; any replies will be greatly appreciated.
