Yes, we're working on the visa situation. If I didn't file the 8840, what would be the consequences down the road? Would the IRS find out somehow that I had gone over the 183 for 2010? Are there any risks in filing it, such as they then know I exist, decide they don't agree that I have a closer conn...

8840 Question
A question about the 8840 form. I've just realized that the time spent in the USA in 2009 (107 days, so 1/3 is 36 days) plus time spent in 2010 (165 days) puts me over the 183 day total. Should I be filling out the 8840 form for the 2010 tax year, even though the deadline (whatever it is) is likely ...

Thanks for the replies. I still don't completely get it, and i read some other pages on the site since I last posted. I understand the part that Canada will withhold my taxes at source when I earn them. What I don't get is if I have an American green card, how I'm not expected to pay them in the US....

Yes, I'm an employee when I am working, with all taxes and other stuff withheld. It's a contract job; nothing regular, when I want work and they need an employee (they usually do) we set dates and they write a short-term contract. So, they would always withhold taxes from me then, and from the sound...

Thanks for the reply. Why wouldn't I owe any taxes in the U.S. if I'm on a green card? They consider green card carriers to be residents, and indeed, I have to be there over 1/2 the year to keep the green card. Is there something in the tax treaty that makes me keep paying taxes in Canada (and relea...

Canadian marrying American but continuing to work in Canada
In the next year I will be marrying my American boyfriend and moving to the US. However, I plan to keep my Canadian job as it pays almost double what I would make in the US. It's a contract job so I would be in Canada around 3-4 months of the year working at this contract position. How would my taxe...
