Giving back Capital cost allowance- Rental to self living
Nelsona, I am in favor of your advise of claiming CCA to make rental income zero on 216 return. If I claim $ 10,000 CCA, I will save $ 2,220 now. However in future, if I return to Canada to live in the house , I have to return the CCA claimed. That time on 100K income, will I be paying a much higher...

Income excluded by 2555 added back in MAGI?
I am a little surprised by my assessed return showing less credit for first time homebuyer. My 1040 shows line 7 less than 150K. I have small amount of spousal income from Canada excluded shown on line 21. The subtraction of line 7 minus line 21 is shown on Line 22. Line 37 is same as line 22. So fa...

Like IRS allows, is it possible to claim travel expenses for US Canada travel on 216 return for visit to rental property during change of tenant?
If yes, are there any disadvantage of claiming this expense?

Tax paid in Canada on income excluded using 2555
Hello Nelsona, We are correcting US taxes using 1040X. Would like to verify from you. 1) Spousal income in Canada for part year residence was excluded from 1040 using 2555. Therefore tax paid in Canada on this income also needs to be excluded from US tax credit. However, whatever tax she paid using ...
