CarmenM65 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Hi We are Canadians, who relocated to the USA on Jan 1, 2023. How we should report the income tax as non-resident or emigrant. I continue to work for a Canadian employer remotely and receive a Canadian salary and T4, how do I report my Salary, also how do I report a self-employed income in the USA? Also, my wife has a full-time job in the USA and got the W2 income for 2023, also got the T4 for the January salary in Canada. Which options do we need to select to enter the income and the taxes paid in USA. THank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo123 Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 Hello CarmenM65, You do not indicate if the move was temporary or permanent. You should also consider the following a) In which foreign country was the employment income earned b) If the foreign country was the USA did the person have a Green Card or US Citizenship c) Did the person maintain residential ties to Canada while abroad (maintained a habitual abode in Canada, driver’s license, provincial medical insurance, Canadian bank account etc) d) How many days did they remain abroad? e) Did they file an income tax return in the foreign country You should consider the above and check with the CRA to establish your status. You can then contact us so we may guide you how to proceed ie type of Non Resident or emigrant. Please contact UFile Support so we may review the file confidentially with the above notes and clarification. Please open a request ticket and submit an anonymous file for review on-line at https://www.ufile.ca/contact/contact-us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo123 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Hello CarmenM65, It would appear that you have emigrated, please confirm with CRA. In addition, given that you must also complete US (IRS) tax filings, based on the US Green Card, I recommend you consult with a tax advisor.
