Canadian PR working at US as H1B

[havefuns]

Hi, both my wife and I are Canadian PR. I am working at USA by H1B visa sinc e last Oct., my wife is no income but living at Canada. We have a daughter who was born in US. And she is living with my overseas parents. From this forum, I am going to be considered "factual resident". My question is:

1) Besides the "non- refundable credit" , what else credit I can get from my wife?

2) Can I treat her as my dependent? how can? where?

3) I must pay Ontario's OHIP, but I never use it and accoding the rule, it should be expired because I am living out of Canada.

Any suggestion?? Thank you veyr much.

enough money to pay the canadian tax.

1) Must I be a Canadian resident? I got H1 from my 2004 OPT. Is it possible I can be a deemed NR?

2) I found I can not claim Ontraio's property tax, because my house is in US, rather than Ontraio. Can I treat my US rental as "overseas employment fee".

3) it looks like I have to pay OHIP premium, although I didn't or won''t benefit from it.

The Canadian tax system is rediculous.

anybody knows if I have to pay the Ontraio Health Premium? (Line 70, ON428)
I don't need the OHIP (or not eligible because I am working and living in USA) but I am a factural resident because my wife is living over there.

The guide said "if you were a resident of Ontraio at the end of 2005", I don't know what the definition of "resident" is?

Thanks for any helps.

I'm quite sure the Health premium is not dependant on your being eligible or not for OHIP.

It is a tax, pure and simple. whether or not you avail yourself, or are even eligible to avail yourself of the service.
