In other words, should I put the deducted tax (convert to USD of course) on Line 62 (federal tax withheld) of 1040, or should I take foreign tax credit on it on 1116 ? which category is the EI income on 1116?

I understand that I need to report my wife's EI while she was a US resident on Line 19 (Unemployment compensation) on 1040 form. Do I need to put the deducted tax of her EI ( box 24 - Non-resident tax deducted on T4E) somewhere on 1040 form? Thanks

We had some Canadian income before we moved to US early 2008, big tax withholding was taken based on our income in 2007. Now the questions: when we report my Canadian income to US, what exchange rate should we use? I guess average rate of the several months when we were in Canada. But we are suppose...

[quote="nelsona"]From your post, I would say that you and your spouse have different departure dates: yous in january and hers in April. That would make your US income not reportable. Hi, Nelsona, I read the emigrant guide again, I'm not sure if I can have my departure date in January? Bec...

Thank you so much, Nelsona. From your reply, I'm wondering if I treat myself as a Canadian resident also until April (like every body in my family), will this make our situation less disputable?

I rented an apartment from January to April in US, My wife and our kids moved over after we sold our house in Canada ...

My wife had to quit her professional job in Canada due to my job switching to the US under TN, she is in the US under TD. After she applied for EI with all possible documents supporting her eligibility for a TN (her education and work experience meet NAFTA requirements), she got a response from HRDC...

I'm working in the US under TN, my wife quit her job and moved to the US with me under TD, we don't have any ties with Canada. But my wife's company (in Canada) wants her to continue working for them while she is in the US, is this possible and legal? Of course we don't want to file CAnadian tax ret...

I work in NY state on TN, I have a self-direct RRSP account with TDW, and I understand that I will be able to do trading while I'm in the US. My question is: how to transfer my account to TDW in US in order to trade stocks or mutual funds by myself? or will I lose this on-line trading priviledge whe...
