This is our main tax information forum which deals with topics concerning Canadians living and working in the U.S., U.S. citizens contemplating working in Canada, and all aspects of Canadian and U.S. income tax and related adminstrative issues.
I am a canadian ( have lived in US for 5 years under a TN). I had a 401 K from a previous employer ( 27K) . I am considering moving back to Canada next year. Would you recommend I cash in this amount at the beginning of a fiscal year and start fresh in Canada, roll this into an IRA, or leave it as is until retirement and then deal with the international taxes then?
