The treaty does indeed class these workers as Cdn residents. (Art.IV(5)) However, the non-discrimination clause (especially para. 2 which deals with 3rd country nationals) would apply here, if she wanted. In any event, if the poster does not wish to avail herself of that provision, she would report ...

I explained how you report your income: on a 1040, just like everyone else who lives in US!! 1040NR is not for you. As you ahve seen it is disadvantageous, thus you are allowed to file 1040. If you need instructions on how to fill out 1040, then use software. Just remember to report all your income ...

You can volunteer for an organization which normally uses volunterrs, in a position that is typically unpaiud. For example, you could volunteer for Red Cross, but not in a job that they normally pay for. You couldn't volunteer for your local city hall for example, to do web services, since this is s...

I misspoke above. So long as you are not a GC holder or US citizen, you can exclude the gain on 1040 (in the year you move). If you wre GC or USC, you do not get any tax benefit, becuase: What tax would you have paid in canada? the cap gains in Canada is based on the value the day you moved back, no...

First off, the good news is that you are NOT a US non-resident, since you live in US. I say that this is good news, because this allows you to file a regular 1040 AND allows you to NOT report your Govt income. Your standard deduction (you and your pouse should file jointly), plus your exemptions, sh...

Whoever told you this was incorrect, both for the reason they gave you and due to the way IRS views RESP. If indeed the RESP can be rolled into an RRSP (which requires a pretty narrow set od=f circumsttnces) then I would suggest that you do this, and then file 8891. For now, continue to file 3520 --...
