Thank you for your
e-mail re the filing of TDF 90-22.1 reports, David. We sent in the
TDF 90-22.1 forms, in accordance with your instructions, but XXXXX did
not file a Schedule B on his tax
return because he had no interest or dividend income in 2006. The
interest income from all our joint accounts and GICs was my money when we were
married and I reported it as my income. Should this be revised since he is a joint owner with full signing
authority on all my accounts and we showed him as having a financial interest in
all of them? We have an appointment with you on June 27th to do
XXXXXX's Canadian/US tax returns so, if something more has to be filed, can
we leave it until then?
Thank you once again for keeping us informed on all
this!

During the phone conference (which was world wide) the two IRS participants made it clear that a Schedule B should be filed by anyone with out of the country accounts so that the two questions on the bottom of schedule B were filled out.
Later on, when a question was asked by a practitioner abouit whether or not to file a 1040X with a schedule B, the male IRS agent clearly said not to bother retroactively, if they had caught up with the TDF 90-22.1 forms which they kept on referring to as "T bar" forms In other words, there was a bit of backpedaling. However, in my lexicon, since the broadcast was NOT binding on the IRS, but was an attempt to bring practitioners up to speed on the requirements and dealt with some pretty esoteric stuff, my inclination would be to file a 1040X with a properly filled out Schedule B.
You can leave it until the 27th.
As an aside, they dealt with the signing authority of an account because a taxpayer is a controlling shareholder and "could" take control of an account. They were really clear that if A signs accounts for XYZ company and XYZ company controls another company NOP that has a foreign account in Canada, France, Germany, Japan, etc., that A needs to fill in a T D F 90-2.1 for NOP's foreign accounts because A has the ability to become a signing authority.

It is very unlikely that blind or unexpected email to me will
be answered. I receive anywhere from 100 to 700 unsolicited emails a
day and usually answer anywhere from 2 to 20 if they are not from existing
clients. Existing clients are advised to put their 'name and PAYING
CUSTOMER' in the subject and get answered first. I also refuse to be a
slave to email and do not look at it every day and have never ever looked at it
when i am out of town.
If an email is not answered in 24 to 36 hours, it is lost in space. You will have to phone to make an appointment. Gillian Bryan generally accepts appointment requests for me between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM Monday to Friday VANCOUVER (Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles) time at (604) 980-0321

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.
