QUESTION:
Hi,
I am about to accept an offer of employment for a US company based in
Milwaukee. The work is management consulting for their clients mainly in NY
state. I will keep my residence in the Toronto area and will be traveling
in the US from Monday to Thursday every week. I will not have an address in
the US other than various hotels.
I plan to enter the US under a TN visa though I have not been approved yet.
I do have experience as a consultant and have my MBA.
I am wondering if you can answer these questions for me:
1) I believe I would have to pay taxes to both the US and Canada but to what
state would I pay to?
2) Is there anyway I can find out roughly how much combined taxes would be?
3) Would you recommend contributing to 401k and rrsps?
4) I am fully covered for health,dental,vision under my husband's plan.
This includes while I am out of Canada. Have you ever heard of US companies
paying cash to an employee instead of the benefits?
5) Do you see any reason why I could be denied a TN?
6) Is my return something you can help me with? How much would you charge
to file a return of this type? I am married but my husband lives and works
in the Toronto area. I'm not sure if we should file together or not?
Many thanks,
