I am currently working in North Dakota on a L1-B visa. I worked 90 days in North Dakota and the remainder in Canada in the 2011 tax year. I get paid through our Canadian base, and was issued T4, but nothing for my work in North Dakota.
Am I requiried to pay taxes in the US on my 90 days worked? I have read in some topic answers about working less then 183 days in US that it is not required. If so, do both tax returns have to be completed at the same time, or do I file my Canadian tax return first, then the US?
The company I work for is of no help, and some of the other employees have filed that were here longer, and are continuing to struggle with endless penalties and letters asking for more money in regards to owed taxes. Just looking for some straight forward answers. Thanks in advance
Need some clarity. Canadian just started working in US.

Where are you LIVING? if it is in US, then your firm should be paying you as a US employee.

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
