day,
You have undoubtedly been asked this question on numerous
occasions. My wife works in the United States, but we reside in
Canada. She recently has become a permanent resident in Canada, but has
yet to receive a SIN. We know she must file a tax return in Canada (under
the deemed resident statute) however since she does not earn an income in
Canada, and her salary is in US$ what amounts do we fill on her Canadian income
return?? Can my salary (which is less than hers) somehow be applied on her
return as well?? Does she as well get a 2 month extension on her US return
date in order to file her Canadian return??
Thank you for your
time a nd consideration.
Best
regards,

> If you are commuting to work in the USA,
you must file a US tax return first and then refile the same amounts in
Canada. You would convert the US earnings to Canadian dollars and put the
amount on lines 104 (not 130) and 433 (schedule 1) of your Canadian T1
return. You then claim the Federal tax, State tax, FICA (social security)
and Medicare paid to the US as a foreign tax credit on line 431 of your
Canadian return. If there is anything left over you can apply it as a
provincial foreign tax credit on line 48 of provincial form 428 after filling in
form T2036. (If you are in Quebec, You would use Quebec form TP-772-V to
calculate and put the credit on line 409 of your TP1.

should file US form 4868 to extend her time to file the US return which is due
at midnight April 17th otherwise and, of course, her Canadian in due April
30th.

She will get a little more by going to www.centa.com and reading the
US/Canada Taxation section in the second box down on the right hand
side.
