S S in Canada

Post by rnobson »

If I leave USA for Retirement in Canada and hand back my Green Card can I still receive my S S in Canada and is it still subject to US taxes?

If you're eligible for SS you should be able to apply for and receive social security payment while being a resident of Canada.

SS is only taxable in your country of residence, therefore it shouldn't be taxable in the US.
