So would you suggest I follow the Emigrant Guide under CRA to become a nonresident of Canada?

Does this provide any benefits in the long run for tax purposes?

Wouldn't I be filing as part year resident in Canada?
I am very confused on what status I should hold in both cases for my Canadian income ...

Thanks nelsona for your quick response.

So for the US side would I just be filling out a 1040?
Would I be required to file any other forms along with the 1040?

Thanks.

Thanks nelsona for your response.

So what return should I use for the Canadian return?
Should I file my Canadian return regularly?

If I report the Canadian income on the 1040 what will IRS do with this reported amount?
Also is there any special form I should fill out to report the Canadian income ...

Canadian working on TN Visa in the States

Hi,

I am currently a Canadian citizen who is working in the US on a TN visa.
I came to work in the states on June 30th, 2007.

I had income from Jan 1, 2007 to around mid May, 2007 in Canada.

Since I pass the 183 day period test for the US, would I just be filing a 1040 on my US income for 2007 ...
