I reside in Dallas City and work here 100% of the time. In 2001 I worked 8 months in Canada and remaining in USA and since then I am here in USA and working in same company. In 2001 was not sure but I did file tax returns in both the countries ( Canada & USA ) separately. Last year I just filed Tax returns in USA and now am so confuse should I have to file the same or should I have to file in Canada as well. I don't have any ties, ( e.g. home, car, furniture, no property, family) except I do have Bank account and Canadian credit cards and some stocks and that's it. But one thing I got married last year and am going to apply her Canadian immigration as well. Could you please tell me what should I do, should I have to file tax return in Canada and USA or just USA or ...... and how I proceed that. Thanks and appreciated. ********************************************************************************* davdid ingram replies: You should be filing a factual resident return in Canada because you have kept so much stuff in Canada and should be filing returns if you want to import a bride. Under ART IV of the US / Canadian Tax treaty, you report all your US earnings on the Canadian returnand then you would deduct all your US earnings on line 256 of the Canadian Return. Make sure that you report any Canadian interest and dividends on your US return. We would be happy to look after this by mail or courier or fax.
