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.
Ok I see the more detailed information in chapter 6. I notice that you can elect to be a resident for the whole year. Is there any advantage for a Canadian living in the US to file as a full year resident as opposed to filing as a dual status alien?
Yes, if you are married and/or you have little deductions.
I have been through this many times. Please read those threads.
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
