Hi All, I am a Engineer on H1B visa in USA since 2007. My wife and daugther are on H4. All of us are Canadian citizens. Our visa expired on 14 september 2010. We already filed our renewals on June 2010 and got our approvals a week ago. My wife has a nursing degree and she has received an offer from ...

My wife and I are Canadian citizens residing in United States. I am on a H1 visa and she is on H4. She has been offered a job as a RN and we plan to appear at the border for her TN visa. This would be her first TN visa. Is there a requirement that the job has to be a full time job i.e. 40 hours/week...

I am a Canadian citizen working in US on a H1 for last 4 years. I have declared non residency in Canada and filled out departure return, the second year I left from Canada. I still have good amount of cash in Canada and would like to transfer it to US (with the rates being so good currently). I have...

Thanks! The company in Canada does not have any business in US. For her to pay taxes in US, doesnt she require a SSN? How does she pay taxes? Currently she has an ITIN number which I used while filing the return? As for the Canadian non resident return, she would file the return to show the income a...

Thanks! Any suggestions on forex brokers!

With the Canadian $ being at parity with US$, I was hoping to transfer cash sitting in savings account in Canada to US. I am a non resident to Canada (filed departure tax in 2007) and have been reporting all my financial accounts to US. My question is that would I be "taxed" (US/Canada) fo...

No replies??? :(

I am a Canadian Citizen and moved to US on a TN visa in 2007. I am currently a non resident of Canada and have been reporting the following while filing my US income taxes. 1. Form TDF 90-22.1 : Report my Canadian (foreign) bank accounts (FBAs) and RESP with balance as of year end 2. Form 8891 : Rep...

When you say "little other income" does it mean extra income other than that I am earning under employment. I am currently employed and will be working in US. In parallel I wanted to withdraw my RRSP's in Canada. It seems for withdrawing RRSP I will have 25% of amount withheld but do I hav...

Thanks. It seems clear when you put it!!! HOwever, there might be a chance that my employer might work on my green card (if work picks up....well hope for!).
If that does happen in next couple of years, then I might rue myself not entering into the market when it was down!

I am a Canadian citizen working in the US for 3 years. I have been filing my income taxes as a US resident. My stay in US would not last more than 3 years and I might have to return back to Canada. I plan to open an IRA investment account this year. Is it better to open a IRA or a regular investment...

Thanks. However, if I do plan to cash in the RRSP, what implications I am looking at? Do I file a return and pay taxes caused by cashing the RRSP?

I had left Canada 2 years ago and moved to US. I have been reporting all RRSP accounts on the US returns. Most of my RRSPs are GICs which will be maturing this year. The bank (PC Financial) that I have RRSP GICs have informed me that since I am residing in US they would want me to withdraw the RRSP ...

Is the filing of form TDF90-22.1 in year 2008 different than from 2007. Form 2008 calls for interest in number of financial accounts. If the accounts are less than 25, there is no requirement to complete rest of the form but indicates to retain records for information. Does that mean that if I have ...
