2. My RRSP account is marked as non-resident. Is it always 25% flat? Heard about potentially having just 15% if it's taken in the form of payments... is that a feasible / not too complex option as a US resident?

Ok so since only have the RRSP left in Canada, no need to file canadian taxes. 1.

Hi, I lived in Canada for 9 years up to 2012. I am a Canadian citizen. In 2012, I became a US green card holder and now resides in the US.

Hi,

Just want to make sure on my situation:

Became a US resident (green card) on Aug. 24, 2012 and worked from mid-september to end of 2012 in the US.
Before (Jan. 2012 to Aug. 24, 2012) lived in Canada and worked in Canada.

Am I eligible for the exclusion and use 2555?

Thanks a lot.

Does that mean I should find documentation to show the amount value my RRSP at the time I became a US resident ?

@nelsona: yes you did say. I guess I really wanted to put something at 9. It's fine I won't fill it ;)

Thanks. Yes I do want to defer.
To defer : is that basically checking box 6c ?

7a, 7b = 0 since I did not withdraw money.
8 = amount
9 = my contributions for 2012 (i.e. $9000)
the rest empty

is that it ?
