ok, I thought paying my 2012 taxes ended my relationship with the US. Now, they are saying I have to keep filing for as long as I am getting alimony from the us...I am paying my taxes to CRA...So, I know I don't owe the irs any money,(I pay more in taxes in Can than I did in the US) but there are so many forms and I'm not sure which ones I have to fill out now. I have abandoned my PRC, but they haven't recognized that yet...Everytime I phone for help, I get a different answer from the irs. Am I missing any...
1040NR
form 114 not sure if I still need to file but I'll do it anyway
1116
8891
Thanks for your help.
more us tax forms ...help

Hi,
I think you need to figure out for certain which tax form you need to file ie. 1040NR or 1040. I believe the US must recognize that you are no longer a PRC holder - there are others that know more about this, so I'll let them respond.
If 1040NR is correct, ie, you are not a US taxpayer due to your residence in Canada, and no US citizenship, then I believe you would only include the alimony and offset the tax using 1116.
Do other's agree with me? I'm not 100% sure on this one.
