My question is: US-specific
QUESTION: I have recently been recruited to the US. I worked
half of the 2002 year in Canada and half in the US. Although
eligible for residency in either country, I claimed residency in
the US. I filed my Canadian taxes with CCRC and paid them...I
now have to file with the IRS and wonder if I have to claim my
Canadian income with the IRS even though I paid Canadian tax. I
don't want to get double-taxed! Please help...

I am willing to bet that your Canadian return is incorrect. To
be correct, you had to show your date of departure on the
Canadian T1-General on Page one. If you did a shorter form or
net filed the return, it will be wrong and should be checked.
For the US, you have three choices.
1. You can file a Dual Status return which means that you
have to itemize your deductions and only report your US income on
that return (plus the Arkansas state return.
2. You can file a US federal Tax return and report your
Canadian Income on it as well and claim Foreign tax credits on
form 1116. OR
3. You can file a US federal return and report the Canadian
Income and exempt it on a form 2555.
Or, you can ship it all up to us and we will look after it for
you.
