Re: Revenue Canada Review Help

I understand your frustration. Most of our cross-border clients get there FTCs reviewed on an annual basis and we have to constantly communicate with the department to show them our FTC calculations. We've also had many long processing time waits for 1040s. That being said, after making the move to ...

Re: Planning for excess funds in CCPC

Hi Richard This can get tricky. The answer will depend on several factors: - Assuming the company is a CFC and had retained earnings in 2017, did you 1040 for 2017 include 965 calculations? - As a CFC you'll also be subject to GILTI for 2018. Have you access these requirements yet? see here https://...

Re: IRAs for non resident citizens

Hi Coco This has become a huge issue for out clients. I've had over 10 clients with Fidelity be forced to close their accounts and in one case Fidelity forced a de-registration of a large IRA.

At the very least you should be filing protective 1120-F returns and a treaty position (assuming you don't have a permanent establishment).

Please give me a call and we can chat about your options.

Cheers

Not sure that I can complete the returns for (Canadian and US), but if they are relatively simple I should be able to get everything done for less than $2,000. I'm in Victoria, and at the very least I could point you in the right direction. Please give me a call and I'll see if I can help. Cheers Phil

ok then. So lets use an example: US citizen living in Canada reports a $100,000 capital gain and pays (for argument sake) 15% plus 3.8% tax. Before the 3.8% came in the taxpayer would pay $0 taxes because the gain was resourced. Are you saying that they now will still pay $0 US taxes because the ful...

Hi Nelsona

I should have been more clear. I'm really talking about Canadian residents with US citizenship that need to file both US and Canadian tax returns.

New 3.8% Obamacare Tax on investment income - Canadian tax

Has anyone considered the implication on the Canadian returns with respect to foreign tax credits available on the 3.8%? Let assume taxpayer A earns 100% of their investment income from US sources.

I have had some clients try, but from what I remember they had trouble making it work from Canada (may be different now).

Most clients however hate the idea of having to submit the forms through the "financial crimes enforcement network".

I don't blame them....

If you were considered a non-resident of Canada for the first 3 months the taxes withheld will be your final Canadian taxes. The dividends and capital gains will be taxable on your US return and you'll be able to take a credit for the taxes withheld on the dividends via form 1116. No Canadian tax on...
