This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi again David, I have since come across a couple of your other posts online re: the 3520 and 3520-A forms that sound just a little frightening to say the least. In a nutshell, I have been in the US for the past 5 years, but was attending graduate school up until March 2002...therefore, unable to claim US residency while on a F1 student visa. Now that I am done and continue to work in the US, I believe I can claim residency starting on Jan 1, 2003. As I read it, this whole 3520 business applies to US citizens or residents only...not non-residents. If this is the case, then I won't have to complete anything extra until the 2003 tax year...at which time, I will need to fill out 3520-A to indicate what my RSP value is, and 3520 to indicate my recent RSP contribution and transfer between my two RSP accounts. Please tell me I'm correct:) cheers TXXXXXXXXXXXXX ....................... ................................ david ingram replies: I would likely have been filing you as a resident of the US (depending upon how much you became a resident - even with a F1 visa) but as you describe your situation I would agree with you. I also would not do a 3520 or 3520A but would complete my reporting under REV.PROV 2002-23 David Ingram of the CEN-TA REALTY Group US / Canada / Mexico tax and working Visa Specialists US / Canada Real Estate Specialists 108-100 Park Royal South West Vancouver, BC, CANADA, V7T 1A2 (604) 980-0321 - Fax 913-9123 [email protected] www.centa.com www.david-ingram.com Disclaimer: This question has been answered without detailed information or consultation and is to be regarded only as general comment.
