Thanks Nelsona. I still have US source income, and still work in the US as a commuter and will file this income on 1040NR. However, in my case, my US work may fizzle out in couple of years time at which point I will not be able to renew commuter status and will give up GC. My expatriation date - for...

Just to be clear on this -- if I file 1040NR and 8333 am I considered to have expatriated even though I still possess a GC? I would prefer to expatriate now rather than in the future. If I expatriate now I am current on all US tax filings and I am well below the 'covered' limit (in terms of net wort...

Nelsona, Perhaps there's no reason to file a dual status return. I suppose the correct thing to do would be to file 1040NR with 8333 to cover all of 2010. The 8854 expat info statement would be checked 'long-term resident with dual residency in a treaty country' swith Jan 1, 2010 as the date commenc...

My understanding was that surrendering GC and filing I-407 would require a dual status return for that tax year -- based on the date GC was surrendered. I would then become taxable only in Canada and would no longer work in the US. The other option, filing 1040NR and 8833, would seem to have the sam...

Filing 1040NR, keeping Green Card and living in Canada?
Keeping Green Card but filing 1040NR and 8833? I've had a GC for 20 years but moved back to Canada 3 years after obtaining GC. In 2007 I changed to 'commuter status" GC.' I've been filing 1040s each year using my Canadian address as my residence and have had no residence in the US. I've also be...

Remote work in US from Canada on B1 visa?
A company in US would like me to provide writing/marketing services for them from Canada. I am self employed and based in Canada, would do all the work in Canada but would be paid by US sources. Can I use a B1 visa for this? I'd have to visit the company in the US 3-4 times per year for a few days e...
