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.
Hello. The discussion on this board has been really helpful in many ways. I am especially grateful for comments that have shed light on trends and practices.
I now have a question about the mechanics of things. I have seen several references to filing 1040X forms instead of 1040s. Would this always be the way to go? Or should the first filing for any year always be the 1040? Or does it really matter?
one file 1040-X after having filed 1040 for a particaulr year. Once never files more than one 1040 in a year.
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
