T1135 penalty
I corrected my tax last year and added T1135. But, because it was late after I made a correction, I got a penalty of $2500. Any ideas how to submit a letter for a relief?
My parent transfered the money to my account without my knowledge (due to deterioting illness).
thanks

offered H1B visa by my employer? (now on TN Visa)
1. what are advantages of converting to H1B visa? To my understanding, if without a job living in US, I'd rather to go back to Canada to live with better advantages as a citizen. Furthermore, getting a green card, I'd get taxed even though I don't live in the US. 2. how to calculate pros and cons? t...

Can I file tax as dual status in 2017? (When I fully satisfy SBT 180 days in April 2017) in order to avoid...

Need to change address on bank accounts?
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 m...

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 ap...
