MessageSubject: US Taxes - request for quote
Dear Taxman:
I am a dual US/Canadian citizen born in USA who aquired Canadian
citizenship at a young age. I recently obtained my US social
security number (May/05) to get my US Passport (Sep/05). Now I
realize I should be filing US taxes after reading your articles
on www.centa.com. I wish to retain your services to file a 2005
IRS tax return which may include 1040, 2555-EZ, TD F 90-22.1, and
maybe other forms.
I have savings over $10K (CDN), RRSP's, rental income, and earned
income.
Please quote a price for your services.
Regards,
GXXXXXX

david ingram replies:
In these situations, you are to go back six years which means
2000 to 2005.
If there are no Mutual fun sales, no stock sales, no rental
houses and no self-employment, the usual charge would be about
$1,000 to $1,600 to do the catch-up.
Higher end if you have multiple RRSP's and bank accounts.
lower end if just an employee with one or two bank accounts.
This is a good question for this Sunday;s radio program

most questions being answered like this now:
Sorry - too many questions to answer (over 1,800 at the moment-
all of which I have saved over the last two years with the
intention of answering them). I am adding your name to our Q & A
list and another question may answer yours. AND, I have answered
over 6,000 questions at
http://www2.jurock.com/askexpert/expert.asp?aid=121&cid=63 or
www.centa.com and you should be able to find your answer by
going there or more specifically, to
http://www.centa.com/search.htm
However, if you can not find your answer,
answers to this and other similar questions can be obtained free
on Air on the last Sunday morning of each month (Sunday Jan 29,
2006 is next).
On the last Sunday at 9:00 AM on 600AM in Vancouver, david ingram

Call (604) 280-0600 to have your question answered. BC listeners
can also call 1-866-778-0600 free of charge.
Callers to the show and questioners on this board may also attend
the Vancouver Thursday Night seminars on finance and making your
Canadian Mortgage Interest deductible.
There are 17 different topics covered and every Thursday night is
different. They are presented by Fred Snyder at his office at

Burrard) in Vancouver. Call (604) 731-8900 to register and be
