Hey everyone,
It's now time to start thinking about filing our taxes both in US and Canada. Right off the bat I believe Canada will deem me resident since I moved here in Aug into a house owned by my wife and with our kid which went into daycare in sept and yeah.. I was applying for a PR which I became in Nov. So how would I deal with US also deeming me resident, which I will given the residency test.
We were both working and living in US. My wife worked until the end of May and then moved up to Canada in June so she actually spent less than 183 days and I thought she should be able to file with 8840 asking for closer connections to a foreign country.
Me, on the other hand, stayed until early August so well past 183 days, so can't do the 8840. How can I file my taxes if both countries will deem me resident?
We typically filed jointly married in US - good advantage there - but now not sure we will be able to do so.
I'm planning on filing the CRA questionnaire for them to tell me how they will consider me and my wife but I'm pretty sure they will consider us residents.. unless there's a good reason for me not ask them
