Gross Pay in W-2

Can I put my line 1 in W-2 (Wages) to CRA's line 256 as Additional deductions ?

I paid 20K tax withhould in USA, but CRA's federal tax is 4K more than that. How can I reduce it?

So for his/her first year, TN holder can file joint 1040?

Hi Nelsona,

You mentioned both 1040 and 1040NR in your reply. Let's say 2010 MAY~DEC is the first time I worked in US via TN visa, do you mean I will file 1040 for the full year, as well as 1040NR for 2010?
