Residency status on a TN visa

Post by Neglect123 »

Hi! I'm a Canadian citizen that's going to be working in the States for more than 183 days on a TN visa this year. I have a downpayment on two different condos that will be closing around 2019/2020 in Canada. They will be used as rental property. Does this count as a tie to Canada for the tax year of 2018? Will there be any implications when I need to file for nonresidency?

Residency is determined on a date not by year
As soon as you leave and begin to wirk and live in US that is your departure date
Rental property is not a residential tie
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
