US tax question

[MNM2015]

Just wondering if any of the Canadian-US couples on here could advise how the American filed their taxes in the US? Married? Single? Married filing separately? My husband lives in the US (just got his COPR) and I live in Canada, I have never lived in the US. Thank you so much!

Did you do anything to make yourself a US tax resident during the year? Spend enough time in the US, etc.? Cross border taxation issues are complicated. You might want to seek professional advice.

Thanks for the reply. I know it's really complicated and likely depends in the circumstances. Just trying to figure out what others have done. In my case I spent less than a month in the USA, have never lived or worked there and don't have a SSN so can't imagine I'd be considered a resident for tax purposes.

1. Immaterial, all US citizens and Green Card holders residing outside the US have to file an income tax return. http://tinyurl.com/z2kkwhu
