Thanks for the quick reply.

I took a look at the 8833 form you mentioned. Because I’m retired and have no job in either country, will this be an issue trying to prove my ties are stronger in Canada? I’m divorced, but have family in both US and Canada, and a small RRSP in Canada. The only other ...

I’m a Canadian “snow birdâ€￾ and may end up staying more than 183 days in the US this year. Normally I always stay less than 4 months to make sure I don’t get caught by the substantial presence test, but this year I may have to stay longer for family reasons.

If I’m over the 183 day mark will I have to file a 1040NR, 1040, or anything else?

If so, what income if any do I need to report on a US return?

I have no US income just Canadian income.

Thanks in advance.
