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.
In 2011, I was transferred from our Canadian office to our affiliate office in the US under an L-1B visa. I continued to be paid by our Cdn company and filed my taxes in Canada. Should I have been filing in the US even though I was on the Cdn payroll? Would I get credit for the tax I paid in Cda?
You became a non-resident in 2011. Your firm should have changed their payroll. How have you been filing in US?
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
You have a big probelm. Your income since 2011 is subject to US taxation FIRST, so you owe a HUGE amount to IRS, and probably nothing to Canada.
Your firm needs to sort this out.
