I've been working in the US for 6 years, contributing to 401k (for match), having extra taxes taken off and then wondering why I can't contribute to RRSP and get a deduction.

Anyway, my husband has also been working in th US (commuting) but he will begin work in Canada beginning next week. We have always filed separately using 1040-NR. For next year, I am assuming we should file separate again but in the future, would filing jointly (husband getting ITIN), 1040 make sense?
Also, to give me the benefit of requiring RRSPs (I would like to start using up some of my availbale limit) should I contact my HR rep and ask to have less deducted from my pay cheque? I think filing 1040 (non NR) might be a mistake given our situation this year (both having worked in the US)...
Believe it or not, I've read at least 1/2 the posts on this board...
