this is now making my worried as i have already filed all my ccpc returns last year when I closed that - now reporting as dividends in us is putting me with higher tax even though the ccpc is operated just for my job and paid ccpc taxes in canada -any other options for me please that you would suggest

thank you so much for the inputs. Do have any idea where I should udpate my dividend income on my us 1040. As I have already paid corp taxes(closed ccpc) for this amount, and hence want to know how I can get reduced rate in us returns

If I don't have to report my US income on Canada NR return, then I don't worry about being claimed as resident of canada without filing departure return. Otherwise, I will file departure return. Does the departure date should be exactly the date we left canda or can we choose a date after we paid ou...

Thank you Nelsona. You were so patient and very responsive in helping persons like me. Your inputs are great and will help me plan well now

sorry Nelsona, I couldn't understand what that mean.. I am asking just that can i file as resident in canada for the period of my stay or dual status return ie feb thru dec as resident and rest of the period as non resident

when you say atleast before feb and after dec file as non resident - does that mean I can file as resident from feb thru mid december for my stay in canada - does canada allow dual status returns

will it be possible to file as resident in US and also resident in Canada - otherwise if non resident in canada the taxes on incorporation will be very high

In canada, i incorporated(as a corporation) to work for a client and in us i am on h1b visa that was the reason for tie breaker rule - US rules says I have to file as resident and also canada rules also say i have to file as resident - hence per treaty/habitual... i picked up to file in canada where...

due to tiebreaker rules - habitual abode.. per the treaty, I want to file only 1040NR in US - as I picked up Canada to file as resident status - but one of your suggestions says dual status return ie departing NR retrun in US - Can you suggest i I am right or need to file dual status return. I am co...
