US residents, Canadian University students - international non-resident cross border income tax help estate family trust assista
about you from a friend and I am writing to get your advice on filing our
US/Canada taxes.
My husband is Canadian and I have permernant residence card.
He started to work in the States from April, 2005 and I joined him Mar. 2006.
We paid our Canada taxes for 2005 and my question is do we pay Canada tax for 2006? In 2006, my husband and I were both registered to universities in Toronto. He graduated in Dec. 2006.
Another question is that if we want you to file our taxes for us, how long do you think it will take? We are in Seattle, not so far from you.
Thanks and you have a good weekend.

It is tax time, I will be working all weekend but did manage to sneak out to the midnight showing of the movie 300 this morning with five teenagers and had a great time although it sure left me tired today..
As I am sure you realize, your PR card remains valid as long as you are living outside of Canada with a Canadian spouse. You do NOT need to worry about coming back to Canada for regular visits, do NOT ned to file any paperwork other than to renew the card after five years and do NOT have to file a Canadian tax return to keep it alive as the hoklder of a US Green Card must do.
If you worked in Canada from Jan to Mar 2006, you will have to file a Canadian return. It does not sound like your husband has to file a Canadian tax return unless he (and you) wish to file returns to carry forward your tuition and education amounts in Canada in case you come back in the future.
We have a four or five day turnaround at the moment for US / Caanda tax returns. Happy to look after the Canadian and US returns.

David Ingram gives expert
income tax & immigration help to non-resident Americans &
Canadians from New York to California to Mexico family,
estate, income trust trusts Cross border, dual citizen - out of
country investments are all handled with competence &
authority.
Phone consultations are $400 for 15 minutes to
50 minutes (professional hour). Please note that GST is added if product remains
in Canada or a phone consultation is in Canada.
This is not intended to be definitive but in
general I am quoting $800 to $2,800 for a dual country tax
return.
$800 would be one T4 slip one W2 slip one or
two interest slips and you lived in one country only - no self employment or
rentals or capital gains - you did not move into or out of the country in this
year.
$1,000 would be the same with one rental
$1,200 would be the same with one business no
rental
$1,200 would be the minimum with a move in or
out of the country. These are complicated because of the back and forth foreign
tax credits. - The IRS says a foreign tax credit takes 1 hour and 53
minutes.
$1,500 would be the minimum with a rental or
two in the country you do not live in or a rental and a business and foreign tax
credits no move in or out
$1,600 would be for two people with income from two countries
$2,800 would be all of the above and you moved
in and out of the country.
This is just a guideline for US / Canadian
returns
We will still prepare Canadian only
(lives in Canada, no US connection period) with two or three slips and no
capital gains, etc. for $150.00 up.
With a Rental for $350
A Business for $350 - Rental and business
likely $450
And an American only (lives in the US with no
Canadian income or filing period) with about the same things in the same range
with a little bit more if there is a state return.
Moving in or out of the country or part year
earnings in the US will ALWAYS be $800 and up.
TDF 90-22.1 forms are $50 for the first and
$25.00 each after that when part of a tax return.
8891 forms are generally $50.00 to $100.00
each.
18 RRSPs would be $900.00 - (maybe amalgamate
a couple)
Capital gains *sales) are likely $50.00
for the first and $20.00 each after that.
Just a guideline not etched in
stone.
