Hi Nelsona, I think I understood now. All the matter is related to the residency tax status. Wether I will ba considered as a nonresident alien or a resident alien. I will be on H1B temporary and once in the US my employer will apply for my green card (EB1). I will probably met the 183 presence test...

Hi Nelsona, I am still in Canada right now and my US position will start on mid-August 2011. My employer sent me the w-4 for salary withholding. Could I fill "married filled jointly" since I will be on H1B and my husband on H4 with a ITIN? There is an option where I can apparently claim it...

I will be moving to the US on a H1B visa and all this is new for me and I don't know where to begin with income tax. I know that there is a tax trea...

Canada/US treaty: PR of Canada on H1B visa

Hi, I will be moving to the US soon on an H1B Visa. I am PR of Canada and I have ties in Canada (house and husband). My husband will have a H4 Visa just to visit me from time to time (and to have a ITIN number for the US taxes) but he will be staying most of his time in Canada. Since my husband is n...
