I am working in USA already.
But, one account in canada (President choice) does not take foreign address and will close it if I do. I am reluctant to do so as it will also close my credit card that causes me to loose credit score.

Is there any penalty for not changing my address? I will pay tax no ...

thanks, understood now

1. Does US have a free sotware to download like the one in Canada CRA website?
2. My wife and my son don't qualify to apply for SSN as they're under me TN VISA. So, they have to apply for ITIN (first time). Do we have to fill up 1040NR form first and submit at the same time at the office? When we ...

Finally, I got a penalty of 2500 + interest due to late filing T1135.
Anyone has idea how to appeal to CRA? Any tips?

I moved to US in Nov 2016 hence I changed my address of my TD bank account. Recently, I received a letter from TD bank to choose whether I am a US person or NOt.
To choose SCI-W8 or W-9? Which one should I choose? Considering, I live only < 2months in 2016 (US).

thanks

hi Nelsona,
The problem is I was in country A, and the payer was in country B. It was a programming job. And, now I am in country C, which is USA. So, there is no tax receipt or anything. But, because there was a delay during e-transfer due to holiday season, which I don't anticipate the payment was ...

Thanks for the reply.
1. how can I prove if asked by IRS?
2. to clarify, I stay in US only in Dec 2016. So, it means I dont' need to report in my US tax return 2016 right?

4. The payment is only few hundreds dollar. But, if ...

I provided a service to an overseas company in Jan 2016. However, the payment was sent online on Dec 28 2016. Then, the payment is just received in 2017.

The question is when should I pay the tax to that payment? 2016 or 2017?
Please note that the company is an overseas company.

thanks

Thanks I am clear on that now.

My equity-type of investment fund (in RRSP) doesn't alter the book cost in each quaterly report (assuming no new contribution). As some type of investment such as fixed income will have re-invest its profit such as interest. This type of fund will have different book ...

Nelsona,
I am still rather confused with "Internal income" of RRSP when residing in California.
I am clear that I don't need to pay tax on RRSP to IRS.
However, in california that treaty is not recognized. Hence, I need to pay tax on internal income even though not distributed (no withdrawal) based ...

What I mean by question #2 is (to use a correct tax term) is that:
need to report RSSP "internal income" to California (I am moving to California).
(i dont' withdraw money from rSSP, just keep it in canada)

Do i still need to do report yearly?

hi Nelsona,
On another answer, you mentioned that RSSP doesn't require reporting every year.
I need to know the value before I move to US only.

But, in this question here, you said it needs reporting. Even, under FATCA & FBAR.
That means, RSSP is ...

Nelsona,
You said before that RSSP needs no reporting (under new regulation at end of 2014).
But, why you said it needs reporting to FBAR & FATCA?
