Where cross-border files go wrong

Most problems come from two accountants who never talk to each other, not from the tax itself.

  • Double tax on the same incomeForeign tax credits claimed on one side and missed on the other.
  • Missed information returnsFBAR and T1135 penalties can apply even when no tax is owed.
  • Years of unfiled US returnsCommon for Canadians who never knew they were US persons.
  • US tax returns for Canadian residents

    Form 1040 and 1040-NR for US citizens, green card holders, and Canadians with US income, coordinated with your Canadian return.

  • FBAR and foreign account reporting

    FinCEN 114 and Form 8938 for US persons holding Canadian bank, investment, and registered accounts.

  • T1135 foreign income verification

    Reporting US accounts, stocks, crypto, and rental property held by Canadian residents.

  • Catching up on unfiled US returns

    Getting you compliant with the IRS through the right catch-up route for your situation.

  • US rental property and real estate

    Reporting rental income on both sides, US withholding, and the tax on selling a US property as a Canadian.

  • Snowbirds and part-year residents

    Form 8840 and day-count planning so time in the US doesn't make you a US tax resident.

  • Cross-border estate planning

    Planning for US estate tax exposure and Canadian deemed disposition when assets sit in both countries.

  • Contractors and businesses selling into the US

    T2 corporate returns and US filing obligations for Canadian businesses with American clients.

  • Traders and passive income earners

    Day trading, crypto, and investment income across US and Canadian accounts, reported correctly in both.
