I am not sure if the Form 3520 A is necessary to be filled up and reported to IRS every year. I have been working in USA since May 2004 but maintained RESP Contributions since year 2005 for 2 kids living in Canada. There is no income from this Foreign Trust distributed to me at this point of time an...

Misspelt : Para 24 Pub IT 221 of CRA

Nelson; That makes me laugh.. and I was wondering why you are getting agitated!! Please note when I was talking about NR 73 I was talking in context with information provided to CRA in the year 2004 and that sentence I agree to some extent is misleading as what I wrote was about informing CRA on new...

Please read entie post carefully before responding/commenting. Once you do that you will find that I have been consistent through out in explaining the situation. The only comment I have for you is that you quotes were incorrect. Anyways your inputs were invaluable and are appreciated. Thanks for th...

I think you did not read my previos statement : What I said was : Quote For years 2005/6/7/8 I never filed another NR73. So the trigerring factor ( for change in situation) could be that my World Income base shifted from Canada to USA ( in 2005) and I should be granted DNR wef Jan 01, 2005 for the t...

Clarification to your statement: For Year 2004 : I reported Income from USA ( for period in between May 24- Dec 31 2004) on Form 1040 to IRS and in Canada I reported Employment Insurance Income (Received from Revenue Canada from Jan 01 to uptill May 22, 2004) + US Income ( in CD) on T1 General i.e. ...

- For the year 2004 for which NR73 was filed I had to report world Income in Canada as determined by IRS and CRA at that time and that was a true statement for the year 2004 ( ie. I did not report world income in USA) as for the first 4.7 months I was on Employment Insurance in Canada. - So I guess ...

- CRA are the one who asked me to fill NR 73. - Second sentence regarding NR 73 : What I stated here was that DETAILED REVIEW OF NR 73 WAS NEVER REQUESTED BY ME". - In fact I never questioned determination of being Factual Resident uptill recently when I have read your response to the threads o...

-I gave up my driving licence in October 2004. - The letter from CRA says Sub : Residency Status for the 2004 Tax Year. - I do come to Toronto but sometimes the gaps are more than 3 months eg recently Aug - Nov 2008 I could not travel outside US due to pending renewal of travel document ( Form I-131...

Second triggering factor could be that nature of my job in the deteriorating economy and struggling auto sector became more stable in year 2005 and I have maintained/or advanced my position with Ford Motor Company making my economic ties stronger with USA and I started the green card process based o...

Another fact on Form NR 73 I want to point out is that It was filled to Determine Residency status for the Tax Year 2004. As I recall now after checking the form thorouhly that the fact I filled Form NR 73 was : I was asked to fill that up by CRA ( filed on April 06, 2005 to determine how to file Ye...

Based on what I have understood from your previous comments declaring myself DNR since 2005 does help me a lot. It would save me more than 20 K in back taxes. The difference is due to the deductions I take on Sch A of Form 1040 for the Canadian Mortgage Interest Payment plus I can still keep the OHI...
