US always gets full cut of its own source income, UNLESS it is more than what a Cdn non-US citzoen would pay, trhen there is the re-sourcing mechanism to make sure canada gets everything bove that amount, and US only gets that ammount.[/quote]

I'm even more confused now... I thought the whole point of re-sourcing the income was to re-source all of the bank interest income since Canada doesn't allow a FTC for it. I took the approach of re-sourcing all of it... the US didn't get any taxes from me for this and instead Canada got all of it...

That's exactly in line with what I said.

A Cdn non-US citizen living in Canada would not pay any tax on US bank interest, thus a US citizen living in Canada, since they cannot take credit in Canada for any US tax paid on that interst, get to re-source the US interest as foreign, to recoup any US tax that was otherwise calculated on the 1040.
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
