In this situation, you also have tofile a 1040NR with DUAL STATUS STATEMENT on the top of Page one of the1040NR. This 1040NR would be reporting any US source money youreceived BEFORE moving to the USA.
one more thig for you or anyone else reading this. If you have 'ANY'foreign accounts (Canadian, French, Spanish, Japanese, Australian orany other of the 265 or so countries in the world) you MUST fill in USschedule B and answer the two questions at the bottom. Your RRSP is aforeign trust and form 8891 replaces form 3520 for an RRSP.
Good Luck
