Follow nelsona's advice.
"Is anyone implying that she has to report income in a Canadian company that she is a shareholder of, even though she has not received any income distribution?"
Absolutely, if the Canadian company is a "Controlled Foreign Corporation". And it certainly will be if either her brother or sister is a "U.S. Person" (citizen or green card holder). The situation is way, way beyond forum help, and the stakes are very large, so you need good professionals right now!

1. I haven't paid the departure tax it's only differed, so I am not out of pocket.
2. I haven't wound up my company, so there is no deemed dividend to pay. I don't need funds, so I can still use Canadian company to earn income and if income is required, I could even move back to Canada where my nest egg has grown to a full blown thanks giving turkey ......
so I don't know why you're all worked up. As regards USA, I have no IRS issues ... isn't that correct.
You still haven't shown why there is an issue with past IRS filings concerning my mother. You're are implying that there is an IRS requirement for US Canadian non-residents to report undistributed income earned in an Canadian company .... is that what you are stating?

I'm not ststing anything to you anymore except to get you mom to a pro.

After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best

Is the question reporting income or disclosing income. In Canada you have to report foreign holdings ... which my mother does for a home in Florida. As regards US filings, her holdings in Canadian company are disclosed, but since there is no distribution of income, she has no US tax liability for tax on income not distributed .....

He's not implying it, he's saying it and he's 100% correct. A Controlled Foreign Corporation has very special rules under US tax laws about disbursing income and there are a number of IRS filing requirements, with stiff penalties.
Don't try and do this on the cheap on the internet, hire a professional.
