Severed CDN residency 1/20/2020 and moved to USA. I had (1) Business Number and operated the CDN sole prop from 01/01/2020 – 01/20/2020. I then operated the same Business Number as a US sole prop from 1/21/2020 until March, 2020. I ceased operating this US sole prop and BN in March, 2020. My CDN Sol...

Re: Business inventory - emigrated Canada

Another user stated: 3 options. Declare loss which may or may not lead to cra questioning it. Declare zero - likely okay, CRA is not gonna spend time on valuing your used goods inventory unless it’s a decent sum. Declare your average margin and pay tax- safest option Im leaning towards option 2 &quo...

Re: Expensing Inventory after severing ties

My american self (US SOLE PROP) has been mirroring an exact replica of my Canadian sole-prop return as US citizens report / file taxes regardless of residency. So my US returns are an exact replica of my Canadian returns. Selling to my self would not make any sense as this same inventory already exi...

Re: Unique estimated taxes question

I will have to disagree with you nelsona. If you pay %100 of your prior year taxes you will not be subject to any penalty. Example: 2019 tax liability: $10k. 2020 tax liability: $25k. As long as you pay $10k for your estimated tax installments for 2020, you will not be charged any penalties on the r...

Re: Unique estimated taxes question

Paying 100% of the last year tax liability from my understanding is the "safe harbour" rule, and like you said you'll have no penalties, even if you make a million dollars this year and have a massive tax bill. So this makes your statement that "estimated taxes are due regardless of w...

Unique estimated taxes question

I understand that for estimated taxes for self-employed, you can pay 100% of your prior years taxes owed or 90% of the taxes you *estimate* you will owe for the current year. My 2019 taxes owed are about $25,000 USD, however they are almost zero because I am a non-resident and claim FTC's (Foreign T...
