I too am wanting to know options for e-filing from Canada where the tax software has Form 8833. I've wanted to stop having someone do my 1040 for some time because the costs keep going up, the service going down, and the length of time they've finished my return has been later and later.

Ooohh....I was looking at Historical rates. You're right, I should have been using the Current rate. Well, I now have 2 links to use!

Then in 2011 both were discontinued and an 8833 was started for our DB...

I am planning to begin filing our 1040 as I now have the time to do this. Reviewing previous years' 1040s, and spending considerable time researching on this forum, I don't understand our 8833s.
