In the US, there are very few health insurance plans that cover 100% of expenses. They typically have a deductible, then you pay a percent of expenses, with a ceiling). And probably doesn't cover Rx. Any coverage better than this is going to cost you more than $1000/mo.

I would question the 1.5 million for non-USC. It might be though. While your 401(K) might be your only US-based asset, your estate would include EVERYTHING, including your Cdn pensions, insurance, assets, house, etc. So, your estate could EASILY be more than 1.5 million (I would think it already is)...

If you have your own question, ask it in your own post.

You need to submit 1040-X for every year that you are going to amend your return. To these you will attach whatever statement or form you are sending. You are ammending your returns to add the statement or form 8891. You need to send a TD form for 2006 by the end of June. Forget about the previous y...
