Hi everyone!
A little background on our situation....I'm a Canadian citizen, my husband is American and living in Canada. His permanent residency application is still being processed, but he holds a work permit.
Has anyone filed their own taxes in a similar situation? I know we still need to file his US taxes even though he didn't have any income from there. I also know that for tax purposes a work permit holder is considered a resident. Is it difficult to file the forms yourself? I did my own Canadian taxes last year and it was pretty easy, but I'm hesitant to do it this year because of my husband's. I had a consultation with an accountant who could do all of it for us but it would cost upwards of $500 so if I can do it myself I'd like to.
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks everyone!
