QUESTION:
I've got some income from Canada sources and that 5 month I was W-2 employee
of US company with TN-Visa status. Got SSN but my wife and daughter both
spending more time in Canada haven't got it yet. They both have less that
$7,000 income in Canada and nothing in US.
Would I be filing all three TAX returns in Canada and US?
I work in Bloomngton IL, no properties in US, live in rented apartmen, no
investment.
Thanks,

If your intention is to move to the US and you have officially moved and your daughter and wife are just visiting back in Canada, you are a US resident.
If this is the case, we would not report your US income in Canada and would prorate your Canadian exemptions by the number of days you were in Canada.
Your wife and daughter have to file Canadian returns and your wife should get her ITIN (rules have changed on Dec 17, 2003) so that you can file a joint US return.
I hate to say it, but you should just send the returns to us for this first year.
