Thanks for the response, I am taxed as a corporation in the US though. I got s-corp status and check the box on the US tax retun to be treated as a corporation for US tax purposes? With this in mind, I'm reading that the LLC is eligable for treaty benefits

Hello Nelsona, I've been working in Canada through a continuance of my US LLC (with s-corp status in the US). The days worked were less than 100. I have completed and remitted the GST payments for monies received but wondering what to do about my corporate tax return in Canada. I will, of course, be...

Thanks for the response.I should have been clearer in that the company who would be hiring me is a Canadian company. Does that make any difference? If not and I do work in Canada for less than 183 days, would I just get a letter from the CRA to give that company to ensure I dont pay withholding as a...

Hi Nelson, I have an opportunity to go work in Canada as a seasonal worker for a company. Although I am a Canadian citizen, I will remain to be a resident of the US. They prefer to hire my position as a contractor. What would be the tax implications for both Canada and the US if I were to start my c...

Hello there. Last year I filed a departure return for Canada as I had moved to the US in May 2010 to be with my family and to work.

I think I may have it right now from one of your posts on another forum nelsona. You advised someone that filing dual status was the correct way to do it but you then go on to say: " the best way is filing a full-year 1040 and exempting Cdn wages from before the move using form 2555. This allow...

Thanks Nelsona / hga, Just spent half the afternoon on the phone with IRS and canadian international tax office, IRS was no help whatsoever. I think I understand what you're saying about having to file as I must in Canada. But as I understand it for me it would mean to be filing as Canadian resident...

I was looking at this myself. You can't claim in Canada, unless a student going for study. You can claim in the USA .If you meet the requirements as stated in Publication 521 you can "deduct expenses for a move to the area of a new main job location within the United States or its possessions. ...

Thanks for the responses. I'm still trying to get my head around this properly. Since I would preferably like to complete a 1040 for the US with first year choice filing as whole year US resident.But wouldn't I then have to change my leaving date from Canada as Jan 1st? Wouldn't then all Canadian in...

First off I'd just like to say thanks for providing this forum, what an excellent resource. I'm looking for some help with my situation. I am a Canadian citizen who gained my US Permanent residency last year. I received my US green card in January 2010 and still owned a property and worked in Canada...
