Married filing jointly and a request for MaggieA
2005 was my departure year from Canada to U.S. (May 1). My wife and I sold our Canadian equities in April 2005 in order to realize the capital gain. This is because we plan to remain in the U.S. indefinitely and understood (from "The Border Guide" book) that the tax treaty does not address...

I-Bonds
What if I lose my job and visa and have to move back to Canada? Do you think I have to cash in my I-Bonds or does the fact that I was a tax-resident when I purchased them mean that I can keep them?

Thanks. As for the armed forces: of course there's a reason! Like all goverment agencies they are lazy, so they just ship out the Ontario version. Actually, the bases in Germany were little Ontarios: the schools had the Ontario curriculum. Actually, although the taxes were calculated for Ontario, no...

From which province did I depart?
I moved to the US on May 2, 2005. so I have to do both U.S. and Canadian tax returns. I had lived in Vancouver for many years, filing my T1 for BC residents annually like everybody else. I moved directly from Vancouver to San Francisco. Imagine my surprise when I received in my San Francisco mailbox...

Tax software for doing both Canadian and U.S returns
I am trying to determine whether my reach exceeds my grasp, with respect to completing my taxes. I'm a Canadian citizen who moved to the California on May 2, 2005 to start work (TN1). Wife also Canadian but doesn't work (TD1). Plan to file 1040 as married joint. When I lived in Canada I always used ...

Do you mean that you have been getting a new TN1 visa every year with the same company? Can you not have them get you an H1B? I ask because I do not think you are making much progress towards a green card if you just get a new TN1 annually, especially because the border guard can turn you down on a ...

I Bonds at TreasuryDirect
A desperate question from one who fears inflation... A "U.S. Person" can invest up to $30K annually in a US savings bond that has an inflation-adjusted, real return. It's called an "I Bond". One opens an account directly with the US Treasury via a service called TreasuryDirect. (...

Spoke to a chap at CRA Int'l Tax Svcs in Ottawa - just to change my mailing address, and I asked him. He had never heard of an HSA so he searched for few minutes on his database and came up with a blank. I think I'll invest in my HSA and let it go for now with CRA. I don't know how long I'll be in t...

Health Spending Accounts (HSA): brand new topic!
In 2003, President Bush signed the Medicare Modernization Act, which allowed working-age folks to get out of PPOs and HMOs by purchasing a high-deductible health insurance plan and also opening up a Health Spending Account, which allows up to approx. $5125 annual contributions. One may pay medical b...
