david ingram replies:

Unless you have a rental house, you should not have to file a
Canadian tax return. If you have bank accounts or other interest ordividends froman investment account, the payers in Canda are supposedto be deducting 10% tax on interst and 15% tax on dividends.

We can do your returns for you by mail or email, fax or courier.

You should likely be filing a joint US 1040 with your spouse.

You do have to do a departing Canada return for 2006.

This other question might help.

QUESTION: Hi David,I am Canadian citizen, worked in Canada for the first 5 months of 2006. then moved to US and worked then for the rest of 2006. I have income from Canada employer, canadian bank and US employer. I filed tax return on my US income to IRS already. I haven't done canadian tax return yet. I had thought I only need to file canadian tax return on my canadian income. But it seems both CRA and IRS requested to report my world income to both. I am confused. What should I do to file the tax return to both?More specially, I received NR4 slip from CIBC bank. I could not find where to enter this form when I used Ufile.ca.How can I enter US W2 form into any Canadian tax form?How can I enter T4 slip into US tax return form?thanks a lot!

david ingram replies:

An NR4 does not go on the Canadian return. It goes on Schedules B and1116 of the US return

The T4 does not go on the US return unless you are filing as a yearround resident as in 2 below.

I am too busy to come up with a new answer but this older one will giveyou an idea.


QUESTION: Hi David,I really need your help in filling U.S tax and I am getting mixed messages which forms to file. 
I am a Canadian Citizen in U.S on TN visa for more than a year. 
I have RRSP in canada over 10,000 put in fixed bond and saving account in a bank. 
What do I need to file here and what forms do I need to fill. 
Do I still have to file tax in Canada for canadian earning? Please help.

david ingram replies;

You need to file a departing Canada tax return and file T1161 if youleft more things than your RRSP behind. The Canadian return will onlyinclude Canadian earnings although if you had a Home Buyers Plan, it isall due and taxable on the departing Canada return unless you have paidit back.

For the US, you have two choices:

1. File a 1040NR dual status statement and a Dual Status 1040 IncomeTax return with no standard deduction

or

2. File a full 1040 which includes your Canadian income and gives youa full standard deduction and the right to file a joint return ifmarried. This is usually the best if you left Canada early in the yearas you did.

If you can't figure it out, file an extension form 4868 (find it at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4868.pdf)

and then send the information to us at the address in blue below tocomplete for you.

Phone consultations are $400 for 15minutes to 50 minutes (professional hour). Please note that GST isadded if product remains in Canada or a phone consultation is in Canada.
This is not intended to be definitivebut in general I am quoting $800 to $2,800 for a dual country taxreturn.
$800 would be one T4 slip one W2 slipone or two interest slips and you lived in one country only - no selfemployment or rentals or capital gains - you did not move into or outof the country in this year.
$1,000 would be the same with onerental
$1,200 would be the same with onebusiness no rental
$1,200 would be the minimum with amove in or out of the country. These are complicated because of theback and forth foreign tax credits. - The IRS says a foreign tax credittakes 1 hour and 53 minutes.
$1,500 would be the minimum with arental or two in the country you do not live in or a rental and abusiness and foreign tax credits no move in or out

$1,600 would be for two people with income from two countries

$2,800 would be all of the above andyou moved in and out of the country.
This is just a guideline for US /Canadian returns
We will still prepare Canadian only(lives in Canada, no US connection period) with two or three slips andno capital gains, etc. for $150.00 up.
With a Rental for $350
A Business for $350 - Rental andbusiness likely $450
And an American only (lives in the USwith no Canadian income or filing period) with about the same things inthe same range with a little bit more if there is a state return.
Moving in or out of the country orpart year earnings in the US will ALWAYS be $800 and up.
TDF 90-22.1 forms are $50 for thefirst and $25.00 each after that when part of a tax return.
8891 forms are generally $50.00 to$100.00 each.
18 RRSPs would be $900.00 - (maybeamalgamate a couple)
Capital gains *sales) are likely$50.00 for the first and $20.00 each after that.
Just a guideline not etched instone.
