Hi Nelsona,

Sorry to bother you again. I told to my accountant that we need to fill married with no exemptions but he said: "That is correct. However, you would have to use single rates. What you could do is complete the w4 form as single and claim 2 exemptions in item 5. That way they will ...

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 itemize ...

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 ...

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 ...
