Thank you sir. Would State and city taxes be include also or simply, federal + Medicare + SS only?

Thanks once more.

I assume both are considered taxes thus, they should be included when calculating total US foreign taxes paid?

So my son is in graduate studies and he had approximately $16K in Ontario credits in 2019. I looked at his carryover amounts and for federal, he has an amount for 2020 (identical to 2019) but for provincial, it only shows (CRA website) that his 2019 start (from 2018) was $16K but under the "Amo...

So my daughter who is a RN and a commuter (lives in Canada but commutes to the US for Henry Ford hospital), took a course for botox's training and paid out of pocket and received a receipt from the 'Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine' for her out of pocket training. She was working in cardiology b...

So the pre-tax money I put into the HSA (the contributions) I have to add to my gross (pre-tax) income (if I understand you correctly)? I thought / assumed being t...

Good afternoon everyone. I have a question about HSA's. I am a commuter and I work for a US employer and I pay into a HSA to supplement out of pocket medical expenses. My question is when I use that pre-tax money to offset dental expenses, etc that are over and above the coverage provided by my empl...

First off, I love this place (found it last year and learned a ton) and nelsona, you are definitely the bomb with the knowledge you share with us (started doing taxes for me and my family over the last 2 years and this place definitely helped me out, thank you). So my questions are below (and thank ...

Good day all. I did a search and could not find this topic thus the post. I did my 1040-NR and mailed it out approximately June 9 this year and I still do not have any clue the status of my refund check (I also filed for my State return and received a check in July). It was a paper return (from my u...

Both my adult children (one is 24 and the other is 22) I included as dependents when I did my 1040-NR for 2019 (I haven't sent it in yet). Both of their ITIN numbers expired but my daughter (who still lives with me) started working in the US under the TN visa program and received a SSN but I also in...
