Hello
I moved from US to Canada in Aug 2020 and have only employment income and no overlap in earnings and each employer deducted taxes as usual. I have a few questions which will be nice to have help with:
1. For US - I should file taxes for whole year as a resident and declare my US+Canadian income and get credit for Canadian taxes paid (US taxes are already deducted) - Is that correct?
2. My spouse was a no income resident of Canada for whole of 2020 - when I file taxes for 2020, Can I claim the entire personal amount for my spouse and pro-rated amount for myself when filing Canadian taxes?
3. In Canadian taxes I only need to declare my Canadian earnings from the time I became a resident and pay taxes on them?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
