HI! I have a few questions about filing US taxes while living in Canada as a permanent resident.
1. I am an American married to a Canadian. Someone on the net told me that I need a tax ID # for my Canadian spouse.. is this true, if so how do I get one?
2. What forms do I fill out.. 1040? DO I just claim world income? (I nly worked in Canada).. what about the tax credit... any other forms that I need to fill out?
3. I need to file for 2006. What forms do I use for that?
4. I made $0 in 2005 and I did not file. Was I still supposed to file $0 income?
Any info would be great thank you =)

As a US citizen you must file a 1040 every year regardless of where you live, once you earn about $10,000
There are various credits and exemptions available to you to reduce your US tax to zero (or even, if you have kids, get a refund).
Look at forms 1040, 2555 and 1116 for a start
