ITIN for non-resident alien
I'm thinking about buying an investment property in the US with my brother-in-law & he will want to be listed on the title and be associated with any related US bank accounts (i.e. the holding account for rent paid, etc.). How can he get an ITIN to allow us to open a joint account & alllow h...

Rental Property in the US
I'm considering picking up some US real estate while the prices are ridiculously cheap. What are the tax consequences of owning rental property in the US for a Canadian citizen & resident? I assume I file as normal in Canada, but do I also file a 1040NR in the US? Would I be able to write off th...

Canadian with 401a from the US
I worked in the US for around 5 years and returned to Canada right around the time of the stock market crash. I have a fully vested 401(a) retirement fund from my previous employer & I don't really know what to do with it now that I'm back in Canada and it's finally regained most of its former v...

Perhaps it's not unconstitutional, but the Canada Health Act guarantees universal access to health care for all Canadian citizens. Upon further investigation, I've discovered that it does indeed allow for wait periods when moving from province to province, but I believe the province of your previous...

Resigning from H1B Job
I'm resigning from my job in the US on an H1B and have a question that I hope someone can answer. My employer pays out banked annual vacation time to employees when they leave. You have the option of either getting paid a lump sum and having your employment end on your last day in the office OR - yo...

If I chose 1 and left it alone, is it going to be a hassle to maintain the tax free status (i.e. lots of confusing paperwork)? Although I would prefer to just leave it alone (it's really the only savings I have), I can see myself possibly wanting to pull it out in the next couple of years and use to...

Leaving US.. what should I do with 401k?
I'm planning on leaving the US in the next few months and don't know what to do with my 401K. Should I leave it here (it's been getting a pretty decent return over the last few years), cash it out and dump it into another US investment, cash it out and reinvest in Canada, or ??? Not sure which would...

Well I figured that since cars are so much more expensive in Canada than the US, and the dollar is virtually at par, it would be a good idea to get a new one here before going back. My Nissan sells for nearly $20K more in Canada than the US, and the Ford truck I'm looking at is between $15-20K more ...
