QUESTION: I am a Canadian citizen who moved to the US for a new job under a TN-1 visa. The move occurred in Febuary 2003 after my last month of employment in Canada. As a TN-1 visa holder, will I have to file taxes in both countries, or only in Canada? If the answer is both, what are the necessary forms etc. that I must obtain to file my tax(es) correctly? 
Thanks for your taxable donation.

You will do a Canadian 2003 T1 return and pro-rate your exemptions by the number of days  you were in Canada.
For the US you will likely be filing a 1040 with a schedule A and Schedule B.
