Re: Advance Child Tax credit info

Interesting. Filed a 1040NR with Canadian address claiming the tax credit for dual-citizen minor daughter. I am not a US citizen. Provided US bank account details, but did not receive the July payment. Now I understand why. But does it mean that I can claim the full refundable credit for my daughter...

Re: Canadians with SSN filing for stimulus check.

Nelsona, thanks for the reply.

It seems one needs to report $3,000 in US source income in order to quality for the Additional Child Tax Credit. So how do Canadians get around that one?

Re: Canadians with SSN filing for stimulus check.

Nelsona:

I have a child who is a US citizen for whom I would like to apply for the child tax credit. What is the procedure? (I am guessing form 8812 - but do my wife and I submit 1040NR showing no US income?)

Can I apply for past years?

Thanks

My wife and I returned to Canada recently having spent some time in the US. During that time we were US residents for tax purposes, and filed a joint return. Now that we have re-established Canadian tax residency, could we consider our existing assets as effectively equally "split" between...

Thanks, Nelsona. Should I transfer my investments (which included Canadian stocks/REITs) to a Canadian brokerage on the day I move back to Canada, or keep them in the US until the end of the tax year? I am also intrigued as to how/why CRA may claim my stay in the US was too short to break residency,...

To clarify, I was in the US previously in F status. And since I have been "exempt as a teacher, trainee, or student for any part of 2 of the 6 preceding calendar years", I was not an exempt individual for the 2012 tax year. That's why I filed a 1040 in 2012, and a departure return to the C...

I am in "J" status in the US. I was a US resident for tax purposes during the 2012 tax year and filed a 1040. This year, I will be returning to Canada permanently on August 1, 2013. The way I see it, I meet the US substantial presence test for 2013, and should file as a US resident for tax...

I established US tax residency (having moved from Canada) on Jan 1, 2012. But my Canadian brokerage account was only closed, and assets transferred to their US unit, only in March 2012. During these three months, I have accrued capital gains and dividends from Canadian companies, ostensibly in a Can...
