I've been thinking about this some more. All answers have been great information (thanks in advance), but I'm just wondering on something. IF, say 5 years from now, I'm no longer a US Resident, but just a Canadian resident (am Canadian citizen). Say I worked for a year and had Canadian tax owing of ...

Sorry Nelson, me too! Wanted this to be a new message under your Car Talk forum but the trick is to 'reply' to your original message, not create a new topic!

Doh!

Renewing my Driver's License

One thing I can point out - is that with the state things are in these days with US and Homeland Security, little things that weren't difficult in the past are becoming a pain in the *#%%. I've never had a problem renewing my D/L from out of the state I was a resident (due to lots of travel in US), ...

Thanks again Nelson. Now one last question ... really ... okay, maybe! Okay, so I leave the IRA alone in the US and do what you suggest (ie: until 59 1/2+). What if I died next year (I'm only 43-ish!) ... bummer ... does this get incredibly ugly as US wants some withholding and Can wants some withho...

Thx. for the info. 1. The reason I was thinking about moving the IRA into an RRSP, is I really like the RRSP's flexibility way more than the IRA. For example, if the money was in an RRSP, I could quite happily take out say $20 - $30 CDN a year, get no 10% penalty, and live happily being a ######, li...

Moving a larger IRA to RRSP

1. Am a Canadian citizen. 2. Am a US resident (TN for about 7 years) I have read the previous posts (on the old board) concerning how to move an IRA to an RRSP and believe I understand the general process. Essentially I'd have to be a Canadian resident at the time, would collapse part of the IRA, pa...

No Recapture of Rental Depreciation

I'm a Canadian citizen, US resident for about 7 years. Have 3 rental properties bought in Canada years before working in US (on renewed TNs). Have depreciated the 3 properties every year as advised by US accoutants that if I don't - the IRS assumes you did anyway when you sell them. I've heard that ...
